Mangroovy Beach
Egypt · Mer-Rouge
Mangroovy Beach is a private beach north of El Gouna, on the Red Sea in Egypt. It stretches over 350 meters of fine sand with shallow waters ideal for kitesurfing. The spot is vast and sheltered by a colorful reef that separates the calm water areas from the deeper parts.
An IKO center is set up under the palm trees, with rental equipment and certified instructors. The beach is well-equipped with sun loungers, a bar, and easy access from Hurghada, 25 km away. It is a popular spot for locals and tourists for its consistent wind and relaxed atmosphere.
The scenery with the Red Sea and mountains in the background makes the sessions even more enjoyable, whether for learning or freeriding.

The wind generally blows cross-onshore from the left, mainly from the north (N, NNE, NE, NNW), making it a perfect side-on for the south-facing beach. It is a regular thermal wind year-round, with a high score of 99/100 and crazy speeds up to 246 kts in forecasts, but typically 15-25 knots in the strong season.
The navigation area is divided by a colorful reef: a large shallow lagoon (up to hip deep, 200-800m wide) for beginners and freestyle, ideal for launching and landing on the wide sandy beach without obstacles. Beyond, the water becomes deep and more choppy with some swell if the wind is strong. The center staff assists with launching and landing from lookout towers, with a rescue boat on standby.
Prefer high tide because at low tide (especially in summer), the lagoon can be very shallow or dry over 200m, making navigation technical. Wide downwind space (entry 200m), clear and clean water, but upwind 10min for experienced riders towards pro areas. Private spot reserved for kiters via centers like KBC or IKO.
