Restricted Zones


In the western part of the bay, kiting is prohibited during summer. The kite zone is all the way up northeast, but you won't find any beach to rig and launch during high tide, there's only rocks. Kiters move down then, as far as possible, but staying well out of the way of the surfers.

Nightlife
The island is quite small so it is possible to reach every zone/town in 15-25 minutes by car. Special places: Lagomar at Nazaret, Jameos del Agua at Arrieta, Mirador del Rio at Haria. The parties start at 1-2 o'clock at night.
