Beach info
Duxbury Beach is a large area with a few different places to kite. The oceanside can be kited with East winds and can get some swell. Most people kite at the High Pines area, which you need a sticker to get to. This area is a large bay with a muddy/silty bottom that can be ridden in many directions. It is a nice place to kite that mostly locals go to because of the expensive parking sticker price.
Launch information
The best places to launch are on the ocean side (winds with East in them) or by the High Pines area, which is about a mile south of the Powder Point bridge (for SW winds). This location requires a Town of Duxbury sticker for year round access. Please respect this rule and buy a sticker if you plan on kiting here. DO NOT launch where windsurfers do on the Duxbury side of the Powder Point Bridge. Please do not kite from the far side of the Powder Point bridge. As appealing as it may be, you are too close to other people, the parking lot, and the bridge… too much can go wrong.
Restrictions
Please respect the Harbormaster.
Do not launch or kite in crowded areas.
Stay away from the bridge.
Kiters are not supposed to launch from the windsurfing beach.
