Local guide of Rye, Camber sands and the local kitesurfing beaches
Where are we?
We are based in Rye harbour next to Camber sands only one and a half hours from London by car. We are on 4 miles of sandy beach at Camber Sands and can sail in all wind directions locally
The best things about Camber
Safe and easy - a long tidal reach creates 100s of metres of waste deep water - perfect for safe learning and risk-free trick progression.
Tidal Poole
At certain tidal states the sand bars create pools of pure flat water.
Space
There is plenty of room at Camber so we avoid the overcrowding suffered at many spots such as Poole, Brighton and Weymouth
Sand
Launching, landing and practicing is a lot nicer to do with sand between your toes.
Kite Zone at Camber Sands
Jury’s Gap car park, just beyond Camber to the east - parking is free and kiting allowed year round. Please note that this zone is the only area the council allow us to use for kitesurfing. The only exception is between Nov and April you can kitesurf further up the beach but you must still launch and land at The eastern end of the beach.
The local area
Rye is a deeply historic town set in some stunning scenery and is a lovely place to stay
if you want to make a weekend of it. If you’re feeling fancy it’s got art galleries, spas, retreats, posh hotels, luxury cottages and a decent gastro scene. If you’re feeling normal then there are pubs, camping, B&Bs, fish and chip shops and even a night club.

We are also on friendly terms with many local businesses, so if you are doing lessons with us, it is always worth calling us first to see if there aren’t any special offers running.
