About This Spot
Kite Beach is located in a shallow lagoon system along the southeastern Florida coast, facing eastward toward the Atlantic Ocean. The spot is characterized by protected waters separated from open ocean by sandbars and barrier formations. The lagoon setting provides relatively calm, contained water conditions suitable for light-wind kitesurfing with minimal wave development. The beach is surrounded by dense residential and commercial development, including marinas with moored vessels and waterfront facilities. Prevailing winds from the north provide optimal side-shore conditions for this eastward-facing shoreline. The spot is best suited for beginner to early intermediate riders due to shallow water depths and minimal swell exposure. Key considerations include navigating around boat traffic from adjacent marinas, managing crowded beach conditions during peak hours, and understanding that wave conditions remain limited due to lagoon protection and short fetch distances. Water clarity and conditions can vary seasonally. This location emphasizes controlled practice environments rather than wave riding opportunities.
