It a special spot, not recommended to beginners. Only for kitesurf experts. Downwind is a resort, where you can get on land if something happens. But watch out, they have concrete walls, no beach. Extremely friendly and nice people. Be nice and they will help you with everything. Very safe island.

Some small bars, rather quiet island.
