Best wind: North through to East.

To the north of Downtown, this is a favorite with local riders. The hidden beach access is tricky to see between some multi-million dollar vacation homes.

Cozumel's most consistent wind location usually has calm seas, but sometimes you'll find some choppy surf to launch off too.

See our Country Club Beach Photo Album.

At the south of the east coast, stickin' out like a sore thumb at the end of a white sand access road is Punta Sur Park - South Point.

This is a protected area and a State permit is needed to kite here. Raul has a special concession and can take you there anytime the wind is right.

Currents can make it treacherous, but on the right days some of the island's best ridin' is to be had around the southern tip of Cozumel.

Best wind: North/North-East to South-East.

Only accessible by dirt track, there are many great spots, including the lagoon, nestled in the top north edge of Cozumel. Its northern exposure means good ridin' when the wind is north/north-east to south-east.

Its secluded location make this area an adventure in and out of the water.

Best wind: North-East through to South.

Cozumel's exposed east side - faces straight out across the clear blue Caribbean to Cuba and Jamaica.

With north-east through to south winds you can expect powerful sideshore and onshore conditions - with some good surf to bruise yourself in!

Favorite spots are Chen Rio, Playa San Martin and Punta Chiqueros. Aswell as great riding, you can enjoy some delicious seafood platters and ice cold drinks at El Galeon restaurant (Playa San Martin, ask for Sandra!) and Playa Bonita restaurant (Punta Chiqueros).

Best wind: North/North-East to South-East.

The ultimate in riding!

We take a small fisherman's skiff to the north-east tip of the island near Punta Molas lighthouse and then zig-zag back, downwind, across the north end to the lagoon.

About 10 nautical miles (18 km) in total with boat support.

Very few people see this part of Cozumel as it's only accessible by water. Great views, fantastic wildlife and awesome riding.

Maximum 6 people to a group.
