Sant’Antioco – Kitesurf & Wingfoil between lagoon and open sea

Located at the southwestern tip of Sardinia, the island of Sant’Antioco is a true gem of the Mediterranean. With a surface area of 108 km², it is the fourth largest Italian island and boasts a thousand-year history, witnessed by the numerous archaeological sites present on its territory.

An island rich in charm and contrasts: from golden sandy beaches to rocky coves, from hills covered in Mediterranean scrub to suggestive lagoons, Sant’Antioco offers breathtaking landscapes. The crystal clear sea and uncontaminated seabed also make it a paradise for diving and snorkeling lovers.

On the opposite side of the lagoon, Sant’Antioco is also home to a long-established windsurf and wingfoil school, making the area a true reference point for wind sports in South Sardinia.

Is Pruinis “Dog Beach” – Scirocco alternative spot

Is Pruinis is one of the longest beaches on Sant’Antioco Island, located just a few minutes from Kite House Sardinia.
The beach stretches for about 2 kilometers of fine, light-colored sand, washed by crystal-clear water with shades ranging from deep blue to emerald green.

Known for its natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere, Is Pruinis is ideal for long walks, relaxation and quiet seaside days.
At the same time, under specific conditions, it can offer opportunities for windsurfing, wingfoiling and kitesurfing, especially with southerly and south-easterly winds, which can be stronger here than in Punta Trettu.

As a kitesurf spot, Is Pruinis should be considered an alternative option, suitable for experienced riders looking for open-sea sessions.
With Scirocco winds, it can work well when the wind does not enter Punta Trettu properly.

On such days, we may evaluate guided sessions or lessons for already independent riders, always according to sea conditions and local regulations.

Note: kitesurfing at Is Pruinis (“Dog Beach” area) is allowed only outside the summer season, in compliance with local rules.

Coaquaddus – Open-sea waves for experienced riders

Located south of Is Pruinis, Coaquaddus is a large bay framed by cliffs, frequented by experienced windsurfers, kitesurfers and wingfoilers.
The wind mainly blows from the South and South-East, with onshore direction, and waves can reach significant size, making the spot interesting also for surfing.

This is a true open-sea spot, suitable only for experienced riders and not recommended for lessons or beginners.

For those seeking tranquility, the beach is also perfect for kayaking, canoeing or swimming in clear water, surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation. A beach bar operates during the summer season.

Warning: kitesurfing at Coaquaddus is allowed only outside the summer months, in accordance with local regulations.

Calasetta – Wave riding on Sant’Antioco Island

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.

Spiaggia Grande & “Maresciallo” – Epic wave riding

Spiaggia Grande is one of the main beaches of Calasetta, about 25 minutes by car from Kite House Sardinia.
It opens into a wide bay with light-colored sand and crystal-clear water showing shades from deep blue to emerald green, typical of open-sea beaches on Sant’Antioco Island.

As a kitesurf spot, Spiaggia Grande is accessible only in autumn, winter and spring, when strong weather systems affect the area. It mainly works with North-West winds and is exclusively suitable for expert riders, due to strong wind, waves and demanding conditions.

Next to Spiaggia Grande, “Maresciallo” is a true secret spot, located directly along the cliffs.
It is reserved for very experienced kiters: during winter storms, powerful waves can form and wind strength can exceed 50 knots.

For less experienced riders, Maresciallo remains an impressive spot to admire from the cliffs, offering spectacular viewpoints for photography during major winter swells.

The area can also offer interesting conditions for windsurfing, wingfoiling and kitesurfing, especially with North, West and South-West winds during winter.

Important note: kitesurfing in Calasetta is allowed only outside the summer season, in compliance with local regulations.

Spiaggia La Salina – Winter freeride sessions

Located north of Spiaggia Grande, Spiaggia La Salina is a small bay framed by cliffs, offering slightly more accessible conditions than the more exposed nearby spots.

The spot mainly works with northern winds during winter, with a predominantly side-on wind direction.
Water conditions are generally choppy with small waves.

While still an advanced-level spot, La Salina can be a good alternative when Spiaggia Grande is too strong or demanding, and is frequented by experienced windsurfers, kitesurfers and wingfoilers.

Important note: kitesurfing at Spiaggia La Salina is allowed only outside the summer season, in compliance with local regulations.
