# Crabb's Peninsula

Kitesurfing spot in Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda.

> Crabb's Peninsula attracts intermediate to advanced riders seeking swell and wave-riding opportunities in the Leeward Islands. The peninsula's exposed position generates both wave activity and wind chop, demanding higher skill and comfort in varied water. The rocky launch requires careful entry and exit technique, adding another layer of technical consideration. This venue rewards experienced kiters with dynamic sessions featuring real wave faces and the energy that comes with more open-water exposure compared to sheltered bay spots.
