Spiaggia Est
Italie · Sicily
The East beach of Capo d'Orlando, on the Tyrrhenian coast in Sicily, is a large stretch of sand located about fifty kilometers from Milazzo. It is a popular spot among locals for its freedom to navigate and clear water, with coves and inlets that protect from strong winds. The atmosphere is relaxed, ideal for progressing in freeride or testing starts.
Open to the east, it offers varied conditions depending on the season, from flat water in summer to waves in winter. The beach is wide, making access easy, and the absence of obstacles makes it a safe choice for calm sessions.

This spot is primarily oriented east, perfect for side-on or side-shore winds coming from the east like levante or scirocco. The launch is directly from the sandy beach, with no obstructive rocks, and the take-off area is spacious on the eastern part of the cape. In summer, the water surface is flat to chop with thermal winds, ideal for freeride and slalom over a large area without limits. Winter brings wave conditions with waves of 1 to 3 meters, navigable right or left depending on the swell. Navigation extends several hundred meters offshore, with shallow water near the shore in the inlets. Watch out for swimmers in high season on the beach, but there is enough space to stay offshore. No major tide influence, the spot works all year round.
