Question

Where is the nearest place to London to go kitesurfing ?

Answer 1

Chalkwall, and Shoeburyness East Beach are the best places. Take the Fenchurch St. line from London.

At low tide, there is no water in Shoeburyness for about a mile and a half from the shoreline, so plan your trip carefully around high tide if possible. Beware the mile-long boom that extends out between East Beach and the MOD base - this has damaged many a kite and windsurf board. The jellyfish that occasionally wash in on the incoming tide are harmless.

Answer 2

Southend on sea area is great for kite surfing...try Chalkwell beach or Thorpe Bay as they are always quite popular, also there is a local bloke who does lessons..think he's from a wetsuit shop in Benfleet.

Answer 3

Brighton

Answer 4

Not sure if this is the closest, but in Shroeburyness (near Southend-on-sea) they do it! 45 minute train journey from Fenchurch street.

Answer 5

The south coast ... Southampton sort of area has good Kite Surfing ... the Isle of Wight is also amazing and has beachs solely dedicated to it. Its only 2 hours on the train from Waterloo. Hope this helps :D
