Spot functioning
Villasimius offers multiple beach options around the Capo Carbonara marine reserve — the main beaches of Campus and Simius are most used for kite. No formal zones but the wide beaches allow natural separation. The marine reserve imposes strict navigation rules — check which areas are off-limits before each session. Services and rental shops available in the village.

On the water
Open sea with short chop of 0.3 to 0.8m in Maestrale and Levante conditions. Sandy bottom near shore becoming posidonia seagrass meadows further out. Water is exceptionally clear — among the cleanest on the south coast. Some areas of shallow sandbanks near shore useful for self-rescue.
Parking
Multiple parking areas around Villasimius, accessible from the SP17. Busy in summer — arrive early. Full services in Villasimius town (restaurants, shops, accommodation, kite schools).
Wind specificities
Villasimius benefits from both the Maestrale (northwest) and Levante (southeast), giving it one of the most reliable wind windows on the south coast. The Maestrale blows 15 to 28 knots in summer, typically from late morning. The Levante arrives in episodes of 2-3 days, often stronger and more gusty. The cape itself creates some local acceleration effects — wind can be noticeably stronger a few hundred metres offshore than on the beach.
Hazards
Marine reserve of Capo Carbonara — strictly respect navigation restrictions. Dense tourist boat traffic in summer. Rocky headlands around the cape. Keep clear of the ferry and charter boat routes. No kiting inside the strict reserve zones.
