États-Unis · Massachusetts
Cisco Beach, located on the south coast of Nantucket Island in Massachusetts, offers a natural and wild setting, bordered by a soft sandy bottom and sudden drop-offs. It is a popular spot among local riders and young adults for its consistent wind and relaxed atmosphere, although the lack of facilities may make it less attractive for families with children. The beach is also very frequented by surfers, especially during the season.
The wind is generally favorable with SE, SSE, S, W, and SW directions, and the best months for kiting are May, June, July, August, September, and October. However, one must be vigilant about the shoals and sandbars that may appear, as well as the rip currents that can be strong.
