About this spot

Windy.app carries this location as 'Sevan kitespot'. The 2015 Kiteforum.pro report says the many sandy beaches around the lake make launching easy, and that riders can pick a beach to suit the wind direction.

No local source describes this exact beach, so access and depth need confirmation.

The 2015 school and rescue-boat details may have changed; current operation, launch, parking and any Sevan National Park rules need on-site confirmation.
