About the spot

Gradina occupies the long sandy bay between Chernomorets and Sozopol. Local lessons establish actual kite use; easterly winds bring chop and small waves, with more surf in stronger onshore conditions. Suitable zoning makes it useful for instruction and freeriding.

In peak season, campsite visitors, swimmers and watersports businesses share the shore. Confirm the launch with a local operator and keep your return corridor clear. The older directory name Chernomorec identifies a neighbouring section of this bay and is not counted as an extra spot here.
