Overview

Blind Pass is a technical kitesurfing spot located between Sanibel Island and Captiva Island, on the west coast facing the Gulf of Mexico. This pass between the two islands creates strong currents and dynamic conditions reserved for advanced riders. In west or northwest winds, waves form at the pass entrance. The setting is beautiful with the barrier islands and tropical vegetation. Blind Pass is also known for its excellent fishing conditions and seashells.
