Overview

Is Arenas is a stunning kitesurf spot on the west coast of Sardinia, in the Oristano region, featuring one of the longest and most unspoilt stretches of dunes on the island. The beach extends for several kilometres behind a vast pine forest, with the Maestrale (northwest) blowing consistently in summer. The wild and remote character of Is Arenas — a protected dune system — makes it one of the most spectacular natural settings for kiting in Sardinia.
