Overview

Banana River Park is a kitesurfing spot located on the Banana River Lagoon, just north of the famous 520 Slick. This park offers alternative access to the same shallow flat water lagoon that makes the Space Coast famous. Conditions are identical to the 520 Slick — flat, shallow and warm water. The park offers good launching space and parking. It's an excellent choice when the 520 Slick is too crowded.
