Description of Mandjala Beach (Estonia)
Mandjala, located on the island of Saaremaa, boasts a stunning 6 km long and wide sandy beach that offers excellent conditions for kitesurfing. Known for its natural beauty and diverse water conditions, this beach is a fantastic destination for kitesurfing enthusiasts.
The wide expanse of sandy shore and the occasional sandbanks create small flat-water areas, which are perfect for freestyle tricks and smooth rides. The beach benefits from steady winds that make kitesurfing enjoyable and reliable throughout much of the year. Whether you're catching the consistent breezes or taking advantage of the calm, flat-water zones created by the sandbanks, Mandjala offers an excellent environment for all types of kitesurfing activities.
Mandjala’s beach is particularly suited for freestyle kitesurfing. The small flat-water areas created by sandbanks offer an ideal setting for practicing and perfecting tricks. For those interested in wakeboarding, when the wind is lacking, the local surf club provides the necessary equipment and facilities, allowing visitors to enjoy a different kind of thrill on the water.
