Overview

Quartu Sant'Elena is a kitesurf spot on the southern outskirts of Cagliari, on the Golfo degli Angeli. The long sandy beach of Quartu is one of the most accessible spots for local Cagliari-area riders. It receives the Maestrale (northwest) and southerly winds (Scirocco/Libeccio) well, with tidal influence affecting the depth. The urban location makes it very convenient with all services nearby. Popular year-round with local riders thanks to its easy access from the city.
