Overview

Seconds is a kite spot on Strand beach, named after a local landmark. It's a section of the long beach between Strand and Gordon's Bay, popular for kitesurfing and windsurfing. The spot benefits from the same powerful SE wind crossing False Bay. Less crowded than the main Strand spot, it offers more space for riding.
