About this spot

In a 2021 interview, Badar Raees — who learned in Australia in 2010 and says he is only the second or third kitesurfer in Pakistan — described Sea View as very suitable for kitesurfing when safety measures are taken, riding a 14 m kite there.

Wind direction and season are not stated in the source; the summer south-west monsoon is assumed here. Sea View is a crowded public beach.
