North End is the main kitesurfing spot on Tybee Island, Georgia's only barrier island accessible by road, located east of Savannah. The north end of the island features a wide sandy beach facing the Atlantic, with direct ocean access. It's the most popular kitesurfing spot in Georgia, benefiting from regular northeast and southeast winds. Tide plays a significant role — at low tide, vast sandbars are exposed, providing spacious launch areas.
