Main kite beach north of Palm Beach between the Ritz-Carlton and the Marriott; side-offshore trades give flat water but gusty air near shore. A weedy reef lies offshore and drifting riders may need a paid boat rescue; buoyed zones separate beginners from advanced riders, and most schools work here.
