In-Depth Information
Windsurfing
Windsurfing is enjoyed along Seven Mile Beach, although real aficionados
venture to more challenging waters elsewhere on the island. If you do
windsurf at Seven Mile Beach, be on the constant lookout for swimmers
and snorkelers (while snorkeling, we once had a near miss as one wind-
surfer skimmed by way too close). Prices average about $20 per hour for
windsurfing and equipment.
