Playa Salinas (Cayo Las Brujas)

Playa Salinas (Cayo Las Brujas) is described as a crystal-clear, mostly flat-water kitesurfing location with occasional chop, set on a medium-sized sandy beach. Riders typically find an easy self-launch with no surf shore break, and the bottom is generally sandy. Water is reported as flat and clean overall, with shallow areas near shore transitioning gradually toward deeper water further out. Wind is reported to be strongest and most consistent in winter and early spring (December through April), with trade-wind dominance and additional thermal/sea-breeze reinforcement developing later in the day (roughly late morning to early afternoon). Summer conditions are described as lighter, with the possibility of thermal winds but reduced reliability compared to winter. Wind direction is commonly reported from the east to northeast (with NE/ENE/E noted), aligning with an exposed beach orientation. For safety, multiple sources emphasize that the spot is remote and lacks dedicated professional rescue coverage at the beach. Hazards to watch include rocks at the eastern and western ends of the beach, sea urchins in rocky patches, and occasional submerged hazards in shallower areas (including sea grass patches). Local compliance matters as well: it’s stated that riders should verify whether kitesurfing is allowed and whether a special permit or local organization membership may be required. Off-water amenities are limited at the beach itself; food and drinks are described as available at nearby accommodation (on the cay), while gear rental/storage/repair at the spot is described as very limited to none—so bringing your own equipment and spares is recommended. Water temperatures are warm year-round, but a shorty/rash guard (and sometimes boots) is commonly recommended in cooler winter conditions for longer sessions or extra sun/comfort protection. Overall, the spot is repeatedly framed as a quieter alternative that prioritizes smooth riding and visibility over heavy waves or crowded scenes.
