Shela Beach on Lamu Island is a unique and preserved kitesurfing spot, located in the Lamu archipelago on the northern Kenyan coast. This long fine sand beach faces east/northeast onto the Indian Ocean. The southeast trade winds blow strongly during the Kusi season (June to October). Lamu is a remote and authentic destination, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The spot is suitable for intermediate riders with ocean conditions and a wild environment. The tide influences sailing conditions.
