Navy Point
Navy Point sits at the tip of the Kalpitiya peninsula where it meets the mouth of Dutch Bay, giving flat, sheltered sandbank water and room for long downwind runs along the bay. It is one of the winter-season (NE monsoon) options in the Kalpitiya kite area, valued for expansive flat water within easy reach of Kalpitiya town.
