Kitesurfing lessons near Zadar: where to learn
Looking for kitesurfing lessons near Zadar? Here is why Ljubač Bay, 19 km north, is the area's best beginner spot, how to reach it, and what the beach has.
Where to learn kitesurfing near Zadar
The best beginner kitesurfing near Zadar is in Ljubač Bay, about 19 km north of the city and only 15 km from Zadar Airport.
It is close enough for a day trip from town, yet quiet enough that you can focus entirely on the water.
Why Ljubač is the best beginner spot
Ljubač is a 2 km wide sandy bay that stays knee-deep for hundreds of meters, with no current and a soft sandy bottom.
That means soft falls, easy restarts and stand-up depth far from shore — the textbook environment for learning safely and fast.
Getting to the spot
You can drive right down to the beach where we teach, and parking there is free — a rare luxury on the Adriatic coast.
Flying in? Zadar Airport is 15 minutes away, with Split and Zagreb within easy reach for connections.
What the beach has
There is a beach bar for drinks and snacks, shade, and shallow water where small children can play safely while you learn.
It is a genuine family-friendly spot, not just a launch site — which is why people come back year after year.
Other spots in the region
Nearby Nin, Pag and the islands all have their moments, but for first lessons nothing in the Zadar area beats Ljubač's mix of shallow water and steady thermal wind.
