Kitesurfing on Sotavento beach

Kitesurf for all levels, next to Costa Calma

In the south-east of Fuerteventura, very close to the Costa Calma, you’ll find the kitesurfing spot of Playa de Sotavento. Boasting a large area for kitesurfing, it is suitable for people of any level. The wind conditions at the beach, together with the facilities and services available for kitesurfers, such as equipment hire and purchase, make Playa de Sotavento one of Fuerteventura’s most popular spots.

A spot included in the PWA World Cup

This spot is especially popular thanks to the PWA (Professional Windsurfing Association) Windsurfing & Kiteboarding World Cup, which it welcomes every year. The strongest, most constant winds on Sotavento beach are found during spring and summer, which can reach speeds of over 50 knots in a north-easterly direction. The waves, which break very close to the shore, do very little to change the fact that getting into the water at this beach is very easy for everyone, no matter what level.

- Never leave waste of any type lying around, including cigarette butts. Leftover food leads to a proliferation of rats and wild cats, which pose a serious threat to the fauna.
- Do not throw any waste or other objects into the sea.
- Respect the animals. Do not bother them or feed them. If you see an injured specimen, you can call the emergency number: 112. Do not pick flowers or plants.
- Do not pick up or take away stones or any other item from the natural environment. And do not move them to pile them up into sadly famous 'towers'.
- Try to use ocean- friendly sun creams.
