Jaw's Beach
Bahamas · New Providence
Jaws Beach, on the west coast of New Providence, is a discreet and fairly calm kitesurfing spot. The beach is known for its natural setting, with easy access from the road and a more tranquil atmosphere than the tourist beaches of Nassau.
The spot mainly attracts riders looking for an easy-to-read body of water and a less crowded environment. According to local sources, there is a mix of small waves and chop, with generally clear water and a sandy beach area, sometimes mixed with rocky zones near the shore.

Jaws Beach mainly works with a wind from W to WNW, which corresponds to a side-shore to side-on wind depending on the beach orientation. This type of orientation is the most interesting for clean navigation without being too exposed offshore, but one must always check the exact direction before heading out.
The water surface is generally shallow at the shore with a seabed mostly sandy, but some areas can become more technical due to rocks and irregular seabed close to the shore. At low tide, the spot remains accessible, but the usable space may reduce and some passages become less comfortable for takeoff and return to land.
The launch is done directly from the beach, with a preparation area to choose far from obstacles and swimmers. The spot is more enjoyable when the wind is steady and the sea is moderate, as the combination of offshore reef, small waves, and shallow areas requires a bit of anticipation to maintain margin for waterstarts and upwind sailing.
