KITESURFING HOLIDAYS - KEY WEST

THE LURE

WIND & WEATHER:
With beaches facing 360°, who cares what direction it comes from! October through May sees the wind average 15 knots, daily. The air temperature hovers around the 27°C/80°F.

WATER:
These are some seriously luxurious conditions, and of course the water is right on par, luring you in to its warm clutches at 26°C/79°F.

CENTRES
In just four short miles, Key West packs in 120 bars and restaurants, leading to the idea that this is 'a drinking town with a tourist problem', you will not run dry or go hungry in Key West. You can find all types of accommodation here, from ocean-side apartments, guest houses, hotels to budget bed and  breakfasts. For families there are fun museums and tours.
