Caribbean white sand in Mexico

Kitesurfing spot in Cancun

Isla Blanca in Cancun is one of the top flatwater kitesurfing destinations in Mexico. The area offers a pristine, quiet setting with a long stretch of shallow lagoon on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other. It’s ideal for beginners and freestyle riders thanks to its butter-flat water and consistent winds.

The water is warm and shallow, with a sandy bottom and minimal waves in the lagoon, making it easy and safe to ride. On the ocean side, there can be small waves for those who want a bit of variety.
