The sea is shallow for 150m and the bottom is purely sand. For the first 50m the water is completely free of waves and calm. Small waves occur after 50m depending on the wind's power. There are 7 rivers feeding Gokova Bay so the salt level is quite low on the shore. These rivers also play the role of cleaning the sea.
The beach is 3 km long and doesn't have any rocks, buildings, power lines or any other obstacles which might be dangerous for kiteboarding. There is a very large area to raise and land your kite on the beach. Even though there are some swimmers and beach users on some parts of the beach, our training location is far from all of these in a very convenient area.
The wind in Gokova Bay starts in May when the weather temperature gets warmer and continues its rate until November. There is almost no windless day during this 6 months period of the year. The wind starts as a calm sea-breeze at around 9 am and increases up to 18-20 knot with the influx of air temperature. There are hardly any gusty winds in Gokova Bay. The increase of the wind rate throughout the day allows for different levels to practice at different times.
The beach is 45 minutes from Dalaman Airport, 1 hour from Bodrum-Milas Airport, 1.5 hours from Bodrum, 20 minutes from Marmaris (only 3 YTL by bus to kitebeach) and 3.5 hours from Antalya Airport. From Dalaman Airport, you can use taxi, airport shuttle or other tourism agencies shuttles to come to Akyaka Town very quickly and comfortably. From Bodrum-Milas Airport, you can use Mepar Tourism shuttles.
