Cozumel Kite Accommodations

When coming to kite, the area known as Kite Beach has a few rentals homes to offer.  Large beachfront homes are Villa RosMar, Villa Azul and Villa Presidente.   
   

There are three condos in the Casa Blanca Condo; La Manana, Number 5 (each two bedrooms), and
Vista Bonita, (one bedroom-no children due to safety issues). 



There is also a condo in a home called Casa Viento with four different suites to offer.  Villa Juna is in the area too.  

La Ballena is one of four homes. The other three are not available for rentals. This beach in front of the house is actually launchable.


For condo lovers, we have some new luxury condos less than two miles away.

The homes in the downtown area are more economical and more simple than the beachfront properties.  Check them out too. Living in town means you’ll need a car but we recommend that anyway.  My son goes to the beach with kite and board, etc on a moto.  You can too if you get organized.  

The main thing to remember is that this is an island.  If there is wind coming from the north, then the Kite Beach is ‘it’.  If it isn’t blowing, then it is highly likely to blow on the other side of the  island.  No matter where you live, you’re going to have to follow the wind.  

Riding Locations in Cozumel

The Country Club Estates beach is called Kite Beach.  :
This beach is big, with soft white sand and lots of room to launch (and lunch!). All beaches in Cozumel are public property and everyone has a right to use the beaches of Mexico.  The owners of the private homes prefer to call it a private beach, mainly because they don't want kiters to set up 'camp' in front of their homes or ruin the beach. Try to stay further north along the shore, father away from the residential homes.  

Wind Direction: NE, N, NW, W
Water Conditions: Light Chop
Beach: Big, sand
Sealife: The occasional stingray, so be sure to shuffle your feet in the sand when going out in the water. This will quickly scare the buggers away.

Ixpalbarco (aka "The Wave Ranch") : This remote spot got it's nickname for a reason. Small to medium size perfect kickers with the occasional overhead + makes this the most ideal riding spot for wave junkies. Access is very limited since the Hurricane -- there is most often a policia guarding the entry. Contact Raul De Lille (see Lessons, below) for Local-Bro access. You may have to pay, but it's worth it.

Wind Direction: E, NE, SE
Water Conditions: Waves
Beach: Big, sand with rocks. Exposed reef in the water. Be careful! Don't body drag in the shallows!
Sealife: I haven't seen anything yet other than some beautiful birds and the occasional beach iguana.
