Get directions from


From Las Palmas GC-1 South to Maspalomas, exit Pozo Izquierdo. When you reach Pozo and in front of Cutre there is a sand road that goes to the South 400m. You will see ITC (Instituto Tecnologico Canario) behind the road turn to the water and you are at kite beach, there are some wind mills, which are easily to spot from the highway.

Extra Information
Rules:
None


They ban Pozo for Kitesurfing and then we moved about 500m to the South. Many days the wind is better than Pozo. Be careful launching and landing the kite and always help people because it's the worst part of this spot, once in the water it's perfect. Not a beginners spot!
