About this spot
Kiteforum.com calls Farwah 'the best place for beginners and intermediate kiters' because it is a natural lagoon between the island and the mainland with shallow, flat water and small waves; the wind is mostly WNW, best November–March.
You can kite from the mainland or take a boat to the island (listed at €15 return); the island side has no hazards, while the mainland launch has concrete, a road, cars and power lines. School, rental, rescue, rooms and camping are listed.
