El Sargento
La Ventana's quieter northern neighbor — the same wind and water, with more space and starrier skies.
Just up the coast from La Ventana, El Sargento shares the celebrated El Norte wind but keeps a sleepier, more residential feel. It's where kiters and wind-sport regulars settle in for the season: mornings glassy, afternoons kite-filled, nights loud only with cicadas and stars.
Wind, space and stars
El Sargento and La Ventana share one long bay and the same winter wind, so you can launch here and downwind south. With less development, El Sargento offers bigger beaches, dark skies for stargazing and a calmer base for a long stay.
Best Beaches
A broad, uncrowded beach for launching kites and long sunrise walks.
A calmer bay a short drive south with clear water and a famed beach restaurant.
Restaurants
Casual beachfront plates and cold drinks for the wind crowd.
A step up for fresh seafood and sunset views.
Cafés
Fresh bread, pastries and morning coffee for the neighborhood.
Bars & Nightlife
Just south, the area's social après-kite hub.
Things to Do
