Situated on the west coast of Sinai, Egypt, Lagoon Beach offers open sea conditions and over 5 square kilometres of natural and man-made lagoons further upwind.
Club Mistral operate directly off the open sea beach in front of Ramada hotel and Airspace are located further upwind with direct launch access into all areas but a short walk or beach taxi ride from the new Green Sudr hotel.
The natural lagoon is butter flat, shallow and has sand dunes and inlets that make it a natural kite park. Although tidal it is kitable for up to 3 hours either side of high tide. There is masses of space and great kiting conditions! Additionally, there are 2 man-made lagoons, super flat and great for practising tricks or learning in safe conditions with 1 being for the exclusive use of the Airspace centre.
The whole area is massive, safe, sandy and uncrowded. As the area is not heavy with tourism as yet, the social scene in the hotels is relatively quiet, but since you'll be enjoying some of the best kiting in the world all day long, you'll be exhausted anyway. Recent training grounds for world champion Aaron Hadlow and UK's finest Lewis Crathern and Jo Wilson.
