Punta Entinas is the beach of the Punta Entinas-Sabinar Natural Area, at the eastern end of El Ejido: kilometres of light sand with dunes and pine forest behind, without buildings or services and surrounded by greenhouses inland. It is about 20 minutes from Almerimar and is reached by sandy tracks to an esplanade where you leave the car. You ride with Levante, the wind people use most, and also with Poniente: in both cases it comes in parallel to the shore, with open water and no obstacles. It is a good spot for kitesurf, windsurf, wingfoil and SUP away from the crowds, but it is an isolated beach: there is no lifeguard service, no beach bars, no school or rental, so it is not advisable to go out alone and you must bring all your gear. It is a protected area: there is no published regulation regarding kite on this beach, so it is advisable to consult with the Town Hall and the Junta de Andalucía before going, and always respect dunes, vegetation and birds. On the seabed, near the shore, dark patches can be seen (posidonia or rocks, unconfirmed): take care when entering. The beaches of El Ejido are buoyed for swimming from 15 June to 15 September. Forecasts are checked with ARPEGE, ECMWF and ICON.
