Platja Ca Mari
Espagne · Balearic Islands
Platja Ca Marí, in the Migjorn area of Formentera, is a calm and fairly accessible spot, with a long sandy beach and a rather tranquil atmosphere. There are some services available, convenient access points, and generally a more laid-back crowd compared to the more exposed beaches of the island.
For kiting, it’s an interesting area when the wind is well established, with space along the shoreline and a zone that remains natural in places. The setting is pleasant for navigating in a typical Formentera environment, but it’s important to keep in mind that this is not a spot designed solely for riders, and one must remain attentive to other beach users.

The spot works best when the wind comes in side-shore to side-on depending on the exact orientation of the flow on the southern coast of Migjorn. In this area, the water surface generally remains quite clean near the shore, with a sea often fairly flat to slightly choppy when the wind picks up, but some disorder can form if the swell comes in. The beach being long, it is possible to choose a clearer entry point depending on the crowd and the state of the sand.
Entry is done directly from the beach, with a preparation area that must remain clean and clear. A careful takeoff is necessary, as the area is frequented by bathers and holidaymakers in season. The shoreline of Migjorn is quite open, providing space for navigation, but one must remain vigilant to more congested areas near access points, concessions, and facilities close to the beach.
Regarding tides, the effect remains limited as we are on an island in the Balearics, but the water height can slightly modify the width of the sandy strip and the useful area for launching. When the sea is higher, the available space on the shore can reduce, and the water surface can become a bit closer to the surf. The spot remains more comfortable with a well-established wind and a sufficiently clear beach.
