Crandon Park
United States · Florida
Crandon Park, on Key Biscayne in Miami, is the most famous kitesurf spot in the area. There is a large area of flat and shallow water near the shore, ideal for leisurely riding.
The park is well-equipped with parking, showers, and a school on-site. It is a popular spot for riders due to its clear turquoise water and relaxed seaside atmosphere.
The rules are strict here, with a limited number of riders and mandatory certification to access the water.

The spot offers a vast area of flat and shallow water inside, perfect for jumps and freestyle. The launch is done north of the lifeguard tower, walking a bit in the water if necessary at high tide where the setup area shrinks.
The wind direction is generally onshore or side-on from the east or southeast, creating a mirror-like water surface near the shore. Avoid west winds (NNW, NW, W, SW, SSW) as they make navigation dangerous with chop and unpredictable gusts.
The riding area is wide, but stay within the allowed corridors and limit yourself to 25 riders maximum on the water. Further out, a reef breaks with surf, accessible for advanced riders. At low tide, the water is even more flat in the inner lagoon.
