Overview

Between Miami Beach and Key Biscayne, the area offers a very open urban setting by the water, with Biscayne Bay and the sandbanks often serving as a playground. The spot is mainly known for a side to slightly onshore wind, with rather accessible conditions when the bay is smooth, although the water can quickly become choppy depending on the wind and navigation areas. There is also a real local kite culture, with well-established schools and coaching, making it a practical destination for progression or guided riding. Independent riders particularly appreciate the ability to move between several spots around Miami and enjoy clear waters in a very 'sun trip' atmosphere. However, it is better to be comfortable with navigation rules and the limited space in certain areas, as the zone remains busy.
