Overview

Platamona Lido is a kitesurf spot on the north coast of Sardinia, between Sassari and Porto Torres, along a long straight beach backed by a pine forest. Highly exposed to the Maestrale (northwest) and northerly winds, it delivers powerful and reliable conditions in summer. The forest creates a natural windbreak for rigging. The beach is long enough to find a quiet section even on busy days. One of the most consistent wind spots on the north Sardinian coast.
