Big Lagoon is an absolute gem for kitesurfing, located in Francois Peron National Park at Shark Bay in Western Australia. This paradise spot offers a vast expanse of crystal-clear turquoise water, perfectly flat, framed by a spectacular red desert landscape. It is one of the most extraordinary flat water spots in the world, a true dream for any kitesurfer. The lagoon benefits from extremely reliable thermal winds from the south and south-southeast from September to April, blowing regularly between 15 and 35 knots. The water is warm (up to 30°C in summer) and the body of water offers absolutely perfect flat water conditions for freestyle, freeride and downwinders. The ideal season runs from September to April. Access requires a 4WD vehicle as the lagoon is located in the national park on sand tracks. Launching can be tricky with a narrow shoreline cluttered with natural obstacles. It is best to ride at high tide as the water can become too shallow at low tide. A campground is located nearby. National park entry is paid. Nearby spots include Little Lagoon and Denham Lookout, both easily accessible. The Shark Bay region is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to dolphins, dugongs, manta rays and sharks (harmless in the lagoon). A kite school operates in the area: Shark Bay Kitesurfing.
