Hazards

The forum explicitly reports a busy kite crowd; keep clear of established kite activity. Other hazards and the long-route endpoints are not documented.

Parking & access

The forum mentions nearby hostels but no launch lot; confirm a legal local rigging area before entering.

“Progression Project forum local report describes Salinas del Rey as a well-known kite venue with a mellow, glide-friendly wave and nearby accommodation, while warning that the kite crowd reduces its appeal. It is part of the same 25–30 km connected coast.”
