Kitesurfing in Veracruz and Costa Esmeralda

The State of Veracruz has amazing kiteboarding beaches. In Puerto Veracruz you can kiteboard on different kite spots and beaches where the locals usually kitesurf, such as: Playa Boca del Río, Playa del Hotel Camino Real, Playa Santa Anna (Tampiquera) y Playa Iguana.

The state’s better beaches run along the incredible Costa Esmeralda, a fifty km strip north of the Veracruz port, around five hrs driving from Mexico City. Costa Esmeralda sand is a little grey-brown, waters hot and large beaches, so this destination is perfect to be lonely and for kiteboarding. UNESCO World Heritage site of El Tajin is nearly by, a archeological site or ceremonial center of the Totonacs. Here on the Emerald Coast o Costa Esmeralda, we can have a some peaceful days and also enjoy the amazing food and chillout in an relax atmosphere.

Incredible beaches on this area, tropical shore, and plenty of oil wells. The state of Veracruz occupies a large part of the coast and is scattered with still unspoilt towns and archeological sites as this is not very travel part in the country.
