Overview

Castiglione della Pescaia is one of the most elegant seaside resorts in Tuscany, with a charming medieval village perched on a hill. The kite spot is located on the long sandy beach north of the town, in the Tuscan Maremma. Exposed to west winds (Ponente) and southwest winds (Libeccio), with an open body of water on the Tyrrhenian Sea. The setting is magnificent between the pine forest, green hills, and the sea. It is an excellent spot for combining kitesurfing and tourism in one of the most beautiful regions of Italy.
