PORTO PINO

Spiaggia Porto Pino, Porto Pino - S. Anna Arresi 09010 (SU)

Porto Pino is located circa 20 minutes from the Kite House, in the municipality of Sant’Anna Arresi. The long white beach, the sand dunes and the pink flamingos that usually populate the area are a stunning sight. As a kite spot Porto Pino is unique for its crystal clear water and long shore but not suitable for beginners. The wind is usually gusty and the water is choppy or has small waves.

Porto Pino is particularly appreciated for its waves from autumn to spring, while in summer (mid of June – mid of September) kitesurfing is not allowed due to the presence of many bathers and the absence of a corridor. In the rest of the year you can kite in the first part of the beach or in the end where the dunes are.
