Once you cleared the marina spot, it is paradise. Very big play ground. Flat to choppy water, can have waves. In the water near the beach just have to be careful not to step on small rocks, but it's no big deal. That zone has a lot of mangler so the water is not the most clear until about 30m offshore. After that it is very nice. When the tide is low, at about 100m offshore you can easily walk. It is also a good place for beginners.

The most popular spot to kitesurf on San Andres. It is a man made beach, but it is clean. The entry/exit at the beach is a bit more for intermediate/advanced because the beach is small and there is no big clearing. Be careful with other beach users.
