About this spot
Remote Emerald Sea kite area near the Babaomby Peninsula. Spectacular shallow turquoise water but coral heads, limited launching beaches and potential need for boat or jet-ski rescue make this a technical spot.
Conditions and local access rules may change. Always check current signage, forecasts and official local guidance before kitesurfing.
