La Saline-les-Bains is a kitesurfing spot located on the west coast of Reunion Island, in the municipality of Saint-Paul. This spot benefits from the southeast trade winds that accelerate as they wrap around the island. The coral lagoon offers a semi-protected riding area, but the presence of reefs and the shark risk require vigilance. Spot suited for intermediate to advanced riders.
