Quietwater Beach

Pensacola, Florida

eFoiling Kiteboarding Wing Foiling

Overview

This beach access is a great place for eFoilers, kiteboarders and wing foilers alike!

The water here is usually pretty calm, and visibility is decent. There's enough of the shallows for kiteboarders (especially trainees) to stand up after wiping out, while quickly opening up to depths suitable for foiling.

For wind-powered watersports, aim to get to this location earlier in the day, preferably before noon, or there's a good chance the wind will settle too much and you won't be able to capture enough power to get you going.

Parking backs up right to the sandy beach, there are public pavilions and restrooms available, too.

Ratings

4/5

Water Quality

Not quite as clear/nice as the Gulf, but you'll have decent visibility, even as you venture out into the sound.

4/5

Heavy Boat Traffic

Expect heavy boat traffic during the summer months.

Just to the south-side of Quietwater Beach, there's a strip of restaurants that back up to docks. This is a popular place for the well-off boaters to pull into. There are also jetski and other rental activities that are set up around this beach.

Expect low-traffic during the rest of the year.

2/5

Recommended Rider Experience

The water here is usually calm and glassy.
