The small peninsula of Punta Chame is a host to a handful of kite spots, schools, camps and is growing in popularity as more kitesurfers discover the conditions it has to offer. On the north side of the peninsula, the bay is popular with windsurfers and kitesurfers from December to April, during the trade-wind season. The spot offers a vast beach with a lot of space for beginner and advanced kitesurfers to practice and progress, making Punta Chame an excellent place for kitesurfing. In general, the kitespot is more popular in the evenings and weekends, as local kitesurfers from Panama City arrive for the weekend. This isn’t an issue as the spot is quite large with room for plenty of kiters. Punta Came is a quiet fishing village and is relatively quiet on an evening; apart from the local parties organised around the carnival and other Panamanian Holidays. For more evening action you may need to find friends in the kite camps dotted around the peninsula. If you have a no wind day or morning, there are plenty of ways to pass the time. Panama offers excellent wave surfing possibilities for all levels. The surf spot 20 minutes away from Punta Chame gets reasonably consistent surf from December to April. If the surf isn’t on, then there’s canyon swimming and jumping to be done a short drive away from the kite spot. Alternatively, if you fancy staying dry, it is possible to take a boat trip to the famous John Wayne's abandoned island. You’ll be able to wander around the abandoned town, discovering remains of the wild west and spot monkeys and other wildlife.

The central kite spot La Punta is located almost at the tip of the peninsula. This beach is excellent for beginners as there is plenty of space to practice and the low tide reveals up to 150 meters of sandy beach which provides a safe area away from any hazards. The kite beach is extensive at the low tide; however, at high tide, it disappears entirely at certain places. You can find a place to land and launch the kite at the high tide at the western end of Punta Chame. In addition, the kite schools offer a lawn on which the kites can be launched. Water conditions vary from a very flat on the low tide, getting choppier and producing small wavelets as the tide rises and the wind gets stronger in the afternoon. For advanced riders that are after some space and butter flat water to practice freestyle, 'The Sandbar' is a great option. But you will have to spend 20minutes riding upwind first. The sandbar shelters the water entirely and creates glassy flat water that is worth the upwind ride. The sandbar only shows itself on low tides during a spring phase (full and new moons) so if the opportunity is there, take it while you can. The lagoons There are two lagoons that can be reached by riding downwind from the main kite beach. The ‘small’ lagoon can be reached first by a short 5-minute downwinder to the spot. As it is the easier of the two lagoons to reach, it often gets busy and best kited at in the morning when fewer people are around. Due to its small size, it gets crowded quite quickly. The ‘big’ lagoon is further away and takes approximately a 20minute downwinder to reach. For this spot, the best practice is to treat it as a downwinder and request a pick up from the spot due to its distance from the kite schools. The big lagoon is recommended for advanced riders only due to downwind hazards and the need to maintain space. For each of the lagoons, they have the best conditions when ridden around the mid-tide. At low tide, they dry out or become too shallow, and at the high tide, they become choppy. 
Many of the schools offer a downwinder safari which starts in the north near Panama City and ends in Punta Chame. AMENITIES: Kite School, Gear Rental, Beach Assistance, Gear Storage, Kite Shop, Cafe/Bar, Parking, Toilets, Showers, Accommodation.
