About this spot
The Olympic sailing venue from 2012 and arguably the best flat-water kite spot in Dorset. Portland Harbour works in a wide range of wind directions, is sheltered from swell, and is accessible at all tide states. Beginners get protected flat water; advanced riders get powered-up conditions when the wind fills in.
Hazards
Parking
