Kite and windsurf launch at Zahara de los Atunes beach, at the north-western end of the village, next to the mouth of the river Cachón. The beach faces southwest: the Levante (E) comes in cross-offshore and pushes out to sea, and the Poniente (W) comes in from the Atlantic with a shorebreak. The launch area, about 200 m long, is in front of the first houses of the village, between the northern end of the promenade and the Pez Limón beach bar. North of the Cachón begins the military property of El Retín (training ground). We have not found published bathing or kitesurf regulations for this section: check with lifeguards or the Local Police before entering the water. The Zahara almadraba, in front of Cabo de Plata, sets its nets in spring (catch in May and June): we do not have its position, so avoid the sea area on those dates. The zones have been traced from aerial imagery and OpenStreetMap, without on-site verification.
