Playa del Zapillo

Playa del Zapillo, Almería, Spain

About this spot

Playa del Zapillo is the main wingfoil and kitesurf beach right within Almería city, stretching 1.5 kilometres along the urban seafront. Westerly and easterly Levante winds create lively chop and short waves that suit intermediate to advanced wingfoilers looking for an energetic Mediterranean session. Just 10 minutes from Almería Airport — one of the most accessible urban foiling spots on the Andalusian coast. Sessions before dinner, restaurants after.

Local tips

Water sports are restricted between 15 June and 15 September. The western mole provides a useful wind shadow for rigging. Arrive early on Levante days as gusts can become strong by midday.
