Safe and windy spot.
Great for all levels windsurfers.
Kid friendly.
People that hang around are super-fun, friendly and there is a multicultural spirit with people from around Europe and not only.
Stamati’s spot is just great and he also offers teaching lessons, renting sails and boards.
INTERESTING FACT: Stamatis is collecting plastic trash from the coast and creates keychains, hair combs, phone cases from the plastic he collected from the beach.
You can contribute to his effort by collecting plastic trash from the beach as well and get back a free gift.

If you want to practice or learn windsurfing on Naxos Island the Laguna Beach Park is a highly recommended place!
It offers direct access to the best part of the Naxos Laguna with shallow waters and steady winds.
The spot is extremely safe and therefore ideal for beginners who can take lessons to learn windsurfing and improve their skills.
Slalom, freeride and freestyle windsurfers can enjoy speed and tricks in perfect flat-water conditions under the prevailing moderate to strong winds from the north.
The staff is very friendly and helpful, the atmosphere relaxed and the gear up to date and in very good shape offering a broad lineup of boards and riggs in all sizes.
Compared to the other windsurfing centers located at Naxos town the best sailing conditions are directly in front, so that you don't have to spend time getting there. Also prices for rentals and lessons are far more reasonable.

The facilities are relaxed and cool. Very beachy vibe.
Overall great experience.
Highly recommend.

I rented a wind surf with Mr. Paschalidis (that left a bad review as he is a friend's friend) and the way he describes the facts are truly unacceptable and false.
He realized that there was a problem with his gear the first 15 minutes of the rental. I know this because we were wind surfing at a close range. My first reaction was to tell him (twice) to take the wind surf out immediately and ask for a new one. He even replied to me that it was ok and that he could manage.
So if he is claiming that the gear was bad and that he shouldn't have paid for it, why didn't he return the gear back straight away when he had the chance to? No... he returned an hour and fifteen minutes later blaming the gear and the owner. Everyone can be a judge of that.
His aim was clearly to blame the owner and avoid paying for his own misjudgement.
Last but not least, the owner offered him an extra 40 minutes for free and he refused claiming that he was too tired.
I tried to report his review but wasn't able to, so that is the reason why i am writing this particular review. I am sorry for giving this club a bad rate but I couldn't respond to Charis P other wise publicly.
Mr. Stamatis is a great guy and the location is amazing for both beginners and pro's.
Take care...

Got a damaged sail which broke in the middle of the sea. Took me more than 40 minutes to carry it out swimming and walking. When I got out the owner told me I should have called them to change it...but still the time was lost. Instead of accepting their mistake and false equipment (their excuse was that these happen in the end of the season and the overused equipment). Still they asked me to pay for the total amount which is totally unacceptable. Will never go there again nor I I would suggest it.

Mr Paschalidis we are truly sorry that you did not enjoy your day as much as the rest of your company. The lagoon is shallow everywhere and the point where you could change sail is in200 meters distance. As we told you, you could change sail and continue your sailing.and we would have given you extra time making up for the lost time. Even though you didn’t ask from anybody of our team to change your sail we told you that the next time that you will come we could give you the “lost time “ as additional time without extra charge.
As for the damage, it was not the sail but, just the rope that connects the boom which was loose. Someone could return also by sailing..In addition , in case of a damaged, sail or board caused also from our customers we have the solution:. They can change any time they feel that they need it!! 🙂

My son (14) had an hour intro lesson and loved it. The lagoon is a great spot for learning, with steady wind and now waves, and our instructor Michael was a great teacher and friendly, as well. Would definitely recommend it.

Laguna Beach Park is absolutely the best place ever to learn how to windsurf. The spot is windy almost everyday and the waist-deep waters make of it an extremely safe place for beginners. The lagoon is waves free even on strong wind conditions. This is great if you want to learn or for experienced freestylers.
Just 5 minutes away from Hora, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful ( and patient!), so do not hesitate and book your lessons!
I did the 6 hours course and my girlfriend took only 2 hours, but Dionysos was really friendly and the perfect coach.
Would definitely go back!

Two of my sons and I went to Laguna Windsurfing for a beginners lesson. The location is ideal with shallow warm water and reliable winds.
Our instructor, Jan Luca, was brilliant: patient and full of enthusiasm. We all had a great time and managed to sail across the lagoon by the end of the lesson.
The experience certainly ‘wetted’ our appetite for the sport. If you are a novice and fancy a go at windsurfing there isn’t a nicer location to try it.
