Overview

Little Lagoon is an easily accessible kitesurfing spot located near Denham in the Shark Bay region of Western Australia. This small circular lagoon offers a perfectly flat water surface at all times, making it an ideal spot for beginners and short downwinders. However, the wind can be very gusty in the lagoon due to the surrounding topography. Thermal south and southeast winds blow from September to April. Access is easy by regular car from Denham. It is an excellent complement to sessions at Big Lagoon and Denham Lookout in the area.
