Risks & Safety

  • Rocks are present on both sides of the bay, especially near the harbor and points, and you need to keep your distance.
  • The wind can sometimes be gusty near the shore, which requires skill during takeoff and landing.
  • The beach can be very crowded in high season, so you need to stay vigilant regarding other kites, boards, and bathers.

Tenerife

El Médano is a seaside village in the south of Tenerife, located on the edge of a large open bay facing the Atlantic Ocean. The volcanic sand beach stretches along the promenade, with the Montaña Roja in the background and a very relaxed surf village atmosphere.

It is a spot known throughout Europe for its consistent wind and its activities around kitesurfing and windsurfing. Between the schools, shops, and seaside terraces, it is easy to organize sessions and enjoy after the ride.
