Playa de Guadalmansa, in Estepona, about 150 m east of the mouth of the river Guadalmansa. It is a long beach (about 2.5 km) of sand, pebbles and gravel, 5 to 35 m wide depending on the section, with a promenade, showers and unsupervised parking with more than 100 spaces. The launch area is the stretch of open sand east of the river mouth: that is where the kites are set up and where riders launch from, according to the Strava heat map. It works with Poniente (west-southwest), the most frequent wind, and with Levante (east-northeast), both side-on to the beach, which faces south-southeast. Avoid launching right next to the river mouth: there is a current and murky water, and the environment is a protected wetland (LIC río Guadalmansa). According to the InSpain beach guide, the beach has a designated area for kite-surf; in summer it shares the shore with swimmers and buoys, so always launch upwind and check the signage. There is a kitesurf school on the beach (Karma Watersports) and beach bars and hotels nearby.
