Snow Bay is the perfect freestyle, speed, slalom spot. Flat water conditions make the place ideal for all kitesurfing levels. Located near the mouth of Pigeon Creek, sickle-shaped Snow Bay stretches for about 2,0 km. The reef and cays, which surround the bay and protect it from the Atlantic Ocean swell, make the spot a big flat-water lagoon. Ride to the neighbor High Cay and take a rest on its desert white sandy beach. The underwater bottom and the beach are sandy and free of stones, corals and sea urchins so you can forget your shoes at home.
