A spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing SE. Wind from the SE blows onshore, wind from the NW blows out to sea, and wind from the SW or NE runs along the shore. The town to stay in is New Smyrna Beach. Within 5 km we also list 3 surf spots and 1 wind sports spot.
