On the water

The water body faces the Gulf of Mexico with a very gently sloping white sandy bottom. Gulf conditions are generally calm — flat to light chop in westerly winds. The water is warm, clear and turquoise. The gulf rarely has significant waves. Naples benefits from afternoon sea breeze in summer, creating regular 15-20 knot conditions.

Hazards

In easterly winds, conditions are offshore toward the gulf — do not ride. Naples has strict kite regulations — check authorized zones before riding. Very busy and upscale beach — strictly respect other users. Stingrays in the sand. Longshore drift currents possible.
