Kitesurf Paradise Spot - Palmar / Belle Mare

Location:

Forecast sites:

Webcams:

The East coast is the windward coast of Mauritius Island facing the SE trade wind and it is also the coast with the most kilometers of beautiful lagoons.

Located on this coast, Belle-Mare / Palmar beach is the longest beach of Mauritius. It is also the easiest spot with a quiet paradisiacal lagoon : turquoise water between 22 and 26°C with white coral sand. You can ride there safely at any moment of the day, no matter of the tide.

From there you can enjoy a large variety of other amazing spots on the East Coast and great downwinders arranging with local schools.

Whatever the wind, you can also keep entertained thanks to wonderful flat water spots for Stand Up Paddle in the mangroves around there.
