Kitesurfing in South District
2 spots · 2 destinations · 9 schools
Ashdod and Eilat bookend Israel's South District.
Kshtot Beach in Ashdod is an open urban stretch beside a commercial port, chop and waves rather than lagoon, running May through September with a local water-sports club on-site. Eilat's Coral Beach spot, really Reef Raf next to the hotel strip, holds thermal wind nearly year-round but crams everyone through a tiny, rocky launch, best treated as school territory rather than a solo first session.
South District holds 2 kitesurf spots in our atlas, grouped into 2 destinations. The season runs April to December. Every spot suits beginners. 9 schools operate in the region.
