Although it's a spot for surfers it's quite easy to enter for kiters just a little bit more south. Nice waves. Be aware of the beach break.

Kiting usually from the southern part of the beach. To enter you have around 50 meters, some rocks on the left and right. In case that you don't manage to get back to the same place, there is another exit downwind. The place in general is great but not really for beginners. Enough space for launching and landing.

When there is no wind in Corralejo (Flagbeach) it's worth it to go to Cotillo.

Edit
 How to get there
Transport:
- Car
Access:
- Short Walk


On every map you find Cotillo. From the airport you go via La Oliva, from Corralejo via Lajares. At the first and only `big` crossing you go left. The street turns into a path. The first locations are for surfers, go around 500m further and take one of the smaller accesses to the beaches.
