Overview

La Ciaccia is a kitesurf spot on the north coast of Sardinia, between Castelsardo and Porto Torres. The beach receives the dominant Maestrale (northwest) with good power and regularity in summer. A quieter alternative to the more visited spots further north, La Ciaccia offers a relaxed local atmosphere and a wide sandy beach. The backdrop of the Castelsardo medieval castle visible to the east adds to the scenic character of this stretch of coastline.
