A lot of big pebbles and hard land. There is enough room for landing and launching but it have to be done with extreme precautions. The best way is with help in the kite and another one helping you to the water. Strong wind and gusty.

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


From Las Palmas GC-1 South to Maspalomas, exit Pozo Izquierdo. When you reach Pozo and in front of Cutre there is a sand road that goes to the South 400m. You will see ITC (Instituto Tecnologico Canario) behind the road turn to the water and you are at kite beach, there are some wind mills, which are easily to spot from the highway.

Edit
 Rules, Restrictions and Extra Info
Rules:
- None


They ban Pozo for Kitesurfing and then we moved about 500m to the South. Many days the wind is better than Pozo. Be careful launching and landing the kite and always help people because it's the worst part of this spot, once in the water it's perfect. Not a beginners spot!
