Great spot for kitesurfing. Wind blows mainly (just) cross on left to right. There is about 2 kms worth in the main stretch starting at "Dolphin Beach" and ending just past "Doodles". Beyond that you get Big Bay. There are some nice breakfast and lunch spots at Marine Circle and more further up at Big Bay. The Mystic House kitesurf hostel is located mid beach and Cape Town Kite Club is located further up near Big Bay which is a nice chilled out (but safe) neighbourhood close to shops and restaurants.
