Punta Celarain (Punta Sur)
Mexico · Quintana Roo
Punta Celarain, located at the southern tip of Cozumel in the Punta Sur ecological reserve, is a unique kitesurfing spot that combines maritime history and a preserved environment. The iconic Celarain lighthouse, standing 33 meters tall, overlooks a landscape where the Caribbean Sea meets the Colombia lagoon, creating a distinct atmosphere on the island.
This spot is intended for experienced riders seeking steady wind conditions and a degree of solitude. Access is via a dirt track through the protected reserve, and the site remains less crowded than the northern spots of Cozumel, making it an interesting choice for those looking to avoid the crowds.

Punta Celarain offers wind conditions from north to northeast to southeast, with a generally side-shore to side-on orientation depending on the precise wind direction. The water surface is protected by the ecological reserve and reef formations, creating well-defined navigation areas. Launching is done from the sandy beach, but one must be aware that currents can be treacherous at times, particularly near the passage channels. Riders should navigate cautiously around the reef areas and rocky formations that surface in places. The depth gradually increases from the beach, allowing for easy takeoff under normal conditions. The site is reserved for advanced riders due to variable conditions and the complexity of the underwater terrain.
