Meia Praia, the longest sandy beach just outside of Lagos, is situated on the west side of the Alvor lagoon, offering an ideal setting for kiteboarding with its vast open space and easy access.
This spot works with almost all wind directions. During the summer, Northada blows cross-offshore here. However, the Northada winds typically don't reach extreme strengths, ensuring a relatively mild experience, making Lagos City Beach a safe spot. On Meia Praia, kitesurfers are also observed with south winds, more common in the winter months.
Conversely, with favorable west and southeast winds, Meia Praia Beach becomes one of the best spots for kitesurfing on waves along the south coast.
Adhering to local laws, launching or landing a kite in the sunbed areas, which constitute a significant portion of the beach, is prohibited. Additionally, during the high summer season, this location can become crowded. Therefore, it is advisable to kite from Bar Quim to Lagoon for a more comfortable experience.
