St Mary’s Bay / Dymchurch
Infinity Sport’s mobile training ground on the south Kent coast — suited for mid-tide coaching with deeper water access for hydrofoil progression. Very broad wind arc (S, SW, SE, E, NE, N). W is a no-go. Kiting is not advised 3 hours either side of HW; wing/hydrofoil is best within 2 hours after HW. Public beach users have priority — no kiting past the coffee van. Beware submerged groynes at high tide. Parking, toilets, shower, and a coffee van on site at St Mary’s Bay. The village of Dymchurch is a short walk north with shops, cafes, and The Ship Inn. School: Infinity Sport Kitesurfing.
