la torraccia kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot
Italy · Toscana
Overview
La Torraccia is a beach located on the Tuscan coast, in the municipality of Piombino, between San Vincenzo and the Gulf of Baratti. This spot offers a long stretch of sand exposed to southwest winds (Libeccio) and northwest winds (Maestrale), with ideal conditions for kitesurfing and windsurfing. The beach is relatively wild and uncrowded outside of peak season, making it a pleasant spot for sailing without too many people. The body of water is open to the Tyrrhenian Sea with possible waves in strong wind.
