Moonhole
Moonhole is a kite spot on the south-west tip of Bequia, in the Grenadines, a short walk from the island's airport. The NE trade winds get turned to SE/ESE and made gusty by Bequia's hilly landscape, and the narrow, rocky beach with sea urchins and jagged rock formations makes it a spot for intermediate-to-expert riders rather than beginners.
