About the spot

Seapoint at Salthill is a confined specialist venue for highly experienced kiters. Northerly wind can work, but the small access sits between concrete surfaces, coastal structures and the railway.

Beach occupancy and water level determine the usable session window. The map identifies the venue; choose the actual launch using local signs.
