About the spot

Bray is an urban coastal venue with shingle, stones and limited escape options. Waves and coastal structures require confident control; the promenade does not make it beginner-friendly.

Before launching, check the tide, clear landing space and a possible downwind exit. The map is an approximate venue position; current local signs determine access.
