Sardinia | Fontanamare kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot
Italy · Sardaigne
Overview
Fontanamare is a kitesurf spot on the southwest coast of Sardinia, near Gonnesa and not far from the city of Carbonia. The beach is long and sandy, backed by the history of the Sardinian mining region. The Maestrale (northwest) is the dominant wind, blowing regularly in summer with good power. The spot is relatively uncrowded and retains a wild character. The Scirocco (southeast) also blows occasionally, offering an alternative riding direction.
