Visitors come from all over Europe with flight connections readily available across the continent. We have a dual carriageway and Burger king and hotels that are full all year round. We are no longer the quiet, sleepy fishing village and we can no longer drive to the water’s edge, but the island is still a very relaxed place. Windsurf visitors are no longer the main market but we still teach plenty of people who come here to learn to windsurf. Indeed we are now teaching the children of those that learnt here in the 80s! The conditions are still great from Glass beach to Cotillo and the view from our shack at Flag beach is still as sandy, sunny and awesome as always. You can take kit away at Flag beach to sail other spots and as petrol is cheap it’s a good idea to hire a car to follow the wind and a 4×4 isn’t necessary. Self-catering apartments or villas are a good option for smaller groups as they work out quite cheap per head, or for single travellers there are a lot of surf camps with plenty of accommodation options to choose from.
