What to expect
Camber Sands is a huge expanse of golden sand and dunes on the East Sussex coast, with consistent wind and shallow water that make it one of the best kitesurfing spots in the south east. Schools run beginner courses, with safety briefings and kite control on the sand before taking to the water. Strong tides and currents mean you should always follow local advice and zone rules.
Tips before you go
- Book with an accredited school, and follow all safety instructions.
- Be aware of strong currents, rip tides and the changing tide times.
- Check beach and kite-zone rules, which vary by season.
