Kitesurfing & Windsurfing
The Dubrovnik-Neretva County offers ideal conditions for kitesurfing and windsurfing, two sports that combine the power of wind and sea for a unique adrenaline-filled experience. With consistent winds, spacious beaches, and crystal-clear waters, this region attracts board sailing enthusiasts from around the world. The most famous destination for both sports is Viganj on the Pelješac Peninsula, recognized as one of the best kitesurfing and windsurfing spots in Croatia. Thanks to thermal winds that blow almost daily during the summer, Viganj is perfect for all skill levels, from beginners to experienced surfers. Local centers offer courses, equipment rental, and organized camps, further enhancing its popularity.
Another attractive location is the Neretva River estuary, where the meeting of river and sea creates excellent conditions, especially for kitesurfers. The shallow water and steady winds make this spot particularly safe for beginners, while the open section is well-suited for more advanced surfers looking to refine their techniques. Schools in the area provide lessons and equipment rentals, and the wide sandy beach makes it easy to launch and land kites safely.
With excellent wind conditions, stunning scenery, and top-notch infrastructure for water sports, the Dubrovnik-Neretva County has become an essential destination for those looking to combine adrenaline with the beauty of the Adriatic Sea. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced surfer, these locations offer an unforgettable experience in perfect natural surroundings.
