CALASETTA
Located on the northern tip of Sant’Antioco Island, Calasetta is a charming seaside village with a strong Mediterranean identity. Founded by Ligurian settlers, the town is characterized by white houses, narrow streets and a relaxed atmosphere overlooking the sea.
A lively yet authentic coastal village: Calasetta is known for its excellent restaurants along the harbor, its marina with ferry connections to Carloforte (San Pietro Island), and its easy-going local life. Surrounded by beautiful beaches, rocky coastlines and clear waters, the area offers stunning views and a variety of outdoor activities.
The nearby cliffs, open sea conditions and the iconic Mangiabarche Lighthouse make Calasetta a unique place to explore, especially for those looking for less crowded spots and a more authentic Sardinian experience.
Calasetta – Spiaggia Grande / “Maresciallo”
Spiaggia Grande is one of the main beaches of Calasetta, located about 25 minutes by car from Kite House Sardinia. The beach stretches inside a wide bay with light-colored sand and crystal-clear water showing shades from deep blue to emerald green, similar in character to other open-sea beaches on Sant’Antioco Island.
As a kite spot, Spiaggia Grande is accessible only during autumn, winter and spring, when strong atmospheric winds blow. It works mainly with North-West winds and is suitable only for experienced riders, due to strong wind, waves and demanding conditions.
Just next to Spiaggia Grande, “Maresciallo” is a true secret spot, located directly along the rocky cliffs. It is strictly reserved for expert kiters. During winter storms, powerful waves can form and wind strength can exceed 50 knots. Less experienced riders should enjoy this spot from the cliffs, which offer spectacular viewpoints for photography during strong winter swells.
At the same time, the area can offer interesting conditions for windsurfing, wing foiling and kitesurfing, especially when North, West and South-West winds blow during the winter months.
Please note: kitesurfing in Calasetta is allowed only outside the summer season, in accordance with local regulations.
Main winds
- The North wind (Tramontana) blows directly into the bay, often strong and cold during winter storms.
- The North-West wind (Mistral) is one of the main wind directions and can create powerful conditions with waves.
- The West wind (Ponente) blows well, especially during atmospheric disturbances.
- The South-West wind (Libeccio) can generate solid waves and demanding conditions for expert riders.
Calasetta – Spiaggia La Salina
Located north of Spiaggia Grande, Spiaggia La Salina is a small bay framed by cliffs, offering slightly more accessible conditions compared to Spiaggia Grande. The spot is mainly exposed to North winds during the winter months, with a predominantly side-on wind direction.
The water conditions are generally choppy with small waves, making La Salina suitable for experienced windsurfers, kitesurfers and wingfoilers looking for open-sea conditions without the extreme exposure of nearby spots.
Although still considered an advanced-level spot, La Salina can be a good alternative when Spiaggia Grande is too strong or too demanding.
Please note: kitesurfing at Spiaggia La Salina is allowed only outside the summer season, in accordance with local regulations.
Main winds
- The North wind (Tramontana) blows side-on into the bay and works best during winter conditions.
- The North-West wind (Mistral) enters the bay with slightly more manageable conditions compared to Spiaggia Grande.
- The West wind (Ponente) blows well when the sky is not too cloudy, creating choppy water and small waves.
