Bones Bight (Anegada)

Bones Bight (Anegada) is primarily a kitesurfing destination built around shallow, crystal-clear lagoon riding with reported flat-water conditions and plenty of space for setup. The shoreline access is described as easy, with a long, sandy area that supports self-launching, but the water is shallow and includes reef fingers/coral heads and reef patches. Wind at Bones Bight is described as steady north-easterly to easterly trade winds, with the most favorable months including December through March (and also January/February/March called out clearly). A thermal/sea-breeze component is also described for the warmer months (May through September), adding extra wind on top of the trade-wind gradient; the thermal effect is reported to start mid-morning and fade late in the evening. For kitesurfing, the spot is framed as world-class for flat-water riding and learning due to the broad shallow lagoon—while waves are associated with the west side of Anegada (useful for riders looking to progress). Kite size guidance varies with wind strength: one source notes lighter-wind summer often benefiting from larger kites, while another indicates commonly used ranges in stronger trade conditions. Safety planning is important: reef hazards and shallow-water depth changes with tide are repeatedly highlighted, and the location is remote. Bring water and sun protection, respect reef areas (avoid damaging coral), and consider local rules/permission requirements before riding. Emergency care exists on Anegada, but major medical issues may require evacuation to Tortola.
