From spring to fall the thermal wind out of South starts in the morning and is getting stronger during the day. During winter a strong, gusty wind (Poniente) blows from North. Usually a popular beach on a good day, most people go down in the afternoon for the sea breeze. Best wind is the SW (Lebeche); strong and consistent. Also works well with the E and NE wind as it accelarates against the hills. Could be gusty.
Airplane to Alicante. Bus or taxi to Santa Pola. The kite beach is located right at the South end of Santa Pola. Follow the seafront to the end and you can't miss it. Or look for the salt factory from the road with the big 'mountains' of salt, it's behind there.
Special kite zone. Show respect to beginners. Playa Llisa/Grande is closed for kiters in summer months but neighboring Playa La Gola is open year round.

Usually a popular beach on a good day, most people go down in the afternoon for the seabreeze. Shallow for a bit but does get deep as you venture out...a nice place to surf with no dangers
