Overview

Description: You can go in the river. There you have flat water, but it might get a little bit crowded. A lot of beginners here. Or you go on the other side in the sea. There you have small waves and endless space.

Best way to get there from the town esposende is by boat. The local kite school offers transfer.
The other option is walking from the beach. But this might take up to an hour from the closes parking spot.

Best season: May – Aug (a lot of thermal wind).

It is your responsability to check whether kitesurfing is allowed at the spot; you might need a 'special permit' or membership from a local kite organization, etc. Local rules can change. Respect others - kiters or not; kite safely and enjoy the wind!
