Overview

The Mudflats is a kitesurfing spot located in the shallows of San Carlos Bay, near the Sanibel Causeway. This unique spot offers expanses of very shallow sand and mud, ideal for flat water riding. At low tide, vast sandbars emerge, creating a lunar landscape. The spot is appreciated for its ultra-flat conditions and the ability to walk in the water over large distances. It's a perfect complement to the nearby Sanibel Causeway.
