 Comments
08-02-03 Unknown: The fee, as of Feb 2008, was 10 dollars per person. Also: beware of huge amount of jet-ski's that are constantly ripping through the area. Leaves very little room to take a kite out. They even advice for people to stay out of the water because of the volume of speeding jet-skis in the area.
