Overview

Pescara Portanuova is the main spot in Pescara, capital of the Abruzzo coast and the largest city in the region. The spot is near the port (Portanuova), offering access to the Adriatic from Pescara's urban beach. The Abruzzo coast faces east/northeast. The main winds are the Bora (NE, offshore to side-offshore), Levante (E, onshore) and Scirocco (SE, side-onshore). In the background, the snow-capped peaks of the Gran Sasso and Maiella provide a spectacular mountain backdrop, unique on the Adriatic coast. Pescara is the kitesurfing hub of Abruzzo, with several schools and an active rider community.
