About this spot
A sandy spit at the mouth of the Exe estuary that picks up the northwesterly wind that funnels down from the estuary. Works alongside a nature reserve — always check the designated kiting areas and respect the boundaries. A less crowded alternative to Exmouth when the NW is in.
Hazards
Nature reserve — no kiting in protected areas · Sandbanks · Tidal estuary flow
