Toix

Toix is a well-known coastal paragliding site in Alicante province, Spain, launching at about 246 m in south or southwest wind. It has a reputation as a spectacular but genuinely technical site: unplanned water landings are common here, and they can be extremely dangerous, so a life vest is considered essential kit rather than optional gear. Flying Toix safely depends heavily on picking the right weather window and on solid decision-making, planning and skill from the pilot — this isn't a site for casual or first-time visits without careful preparation. The coastal setting is what makes it spectacular, but that same setting is exactly why an unplanned landing over water is a real risk here rather than a remote one. Treat it with the respect and caution the local warnings call for, and only fly it in conditions you're genuinely comfortable with.

Check conditions before you fly

A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Toix, read the wind and thermals for the site itself, confirm the day's rules with the local club, and remember the standing rule — when in doubt, don't launch. In the free OutDare app you can open Toix with a 7-day forecast built from high-resolution weather models, see who else has been flying, and get there with offline maps.
