Lighthouse Beach

Lighthouse Beach is a sheltered lagoon spot on a Maldivian atoll island, characterized by turquoise shallow waters protected by a defined reef system and white sand beach. The lagoon environment provides enclosed conditions with limited fetch distance, making this fundamentally a protected water spot rather than open ocean exposure. The northeast-facing coastline creates natural side-shore conditions for northeast winds (45°). With prevailing winds averaging only 8.4 knots and 17.1% reliability, this spot operates inconsistently and favors lighter wind sessions. The shallow lagoon water (appearing 2-4m in depth based on color gradients) and visible reef structures require careful route planning to avoid coral contact. Best suited for beginners and early intermediate kiters seeking flat-water progression in stable, protected conditions. Sessions work optimally during seasonal wind peaks. The residential development visible on the island suggests potential boat traffic and limited space for large wind ranges. Kiters should verify tidal conditions and reef locations before sessions, as the narrow lagoon corridor constrains drift patterns.
