If you prefer strong wind with minimum swell, then choose kite-surfing at low tide. The only reason to worry about is the rocky beach, situated in the vicinity of the harbor, so some extra attention needs to be paid by practitioners.

There are many B&B hotel offers at the location, in a variety of prices. You should bring your own equipment, as there are no shops for renting any paraphernalia, but there are restaurants and other places for shopping.
