Best Direction:

The NE trade winds don't really reach to this beach. However, if the wind comes a bit more from the east, it hits it and makes it a great beach to ride on. In winter Southerlies winds make it excellent as well.Edit

Located SE of Maspalomas. Walk away from the crowds, then you will have lots of space.Edit
Don't kite close to the beach goers. Walk away, although it is a long walk, but worth to avoid the trouble. The police could take away your gear.Edit
Ok nightlife in Maspalomas.Edit
