A day at the races

Kite Beach is located just across the island from the main beach in Boracay. Despite this, it isn't that far since Boracay is really a small island. Kite Beach is small too, around five to ten steps from beach wall to sea shore depending on the tide. Likewise, the sand isn't as fine as the main beach where all the resorts and restaurants are.

But what's appealing about Kite Beach is the fact that the winds are constantly blowing 24/7 such that windsurfers and kiteboarders have set up resorts and yards favorable to their sports near this strip of sand.

For the regular beachgoer though, this can be quite a pain since it's always nippy when you're standing on the beach but it becomes quite hot once you head towards the beach area. Also, if the sand becomes tossed around, the grit gets blown by the wind and you get an inadvertant beach facial.
