Overview

Pinarellu is a beach in the municipality of Sainte-Lucie-de-Porto-Vecchio, on the east coast. Magnificent beach bordered by maritime pines (hence the name), crystal clear waters and fine sand — it feels like the Landes region, Corsican version. The kite spot is at the back of the bay (furthest right when facing the sea). Works in east wind (onshore). Good potential for kite/wingfoil/windsurf. Corsica Kiteboarding moves there occasionally when conditions are optimal.
