Focene kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot
Italy · Lazio
Overview
Focene is the most popular kitesurf spot in the Rome area. Located between Fiumicino airport and the beach, this spot offers a long volcanic black sand coastline. The dominant wind is the Ponente (west) and the Libeccio (southwest) which blow onshore to cross-shore on this west-facing coast. It is the reference spot for Roman kiters, with several schools and an active club. The proximity to Fiumicino airport (5 min) and Rome (30 min) makes it a very accessible spot.
