Spiaggia
Italy · Sardaigne
The beach of Is Solinas, located on the southwest coast of Sardinia, is a wide bay about fifteen kilometers south of Punta Trettu. It is a popular spot as an alternative when it gets too crowded elsewhere, with immense space to ride without stepping on each other.
There is a camper parking right next to it and even a bar where you can ask for kite lessons. The lagoon behind the beach is pretty but prohibited for navigation, so everything happens on the open sea.
The area is perfect for unpacking the foil or riding freestyle, with a relaxed atmosphere and friendly locals.
The beach of Is Solinas is oriented towards the southwest, making it ideal for west to southwest side-on or side-shore winds, typical of Sardinia. The water surface is ultra-flat thanks to a large area of shallow water, up to 100 meters from the shore where you can stand everywhere, perfect for easy take-offs and landings.
Launching is done directly from the wide sandy beach, with no obstacles. The navigation area extends across the entire vast bay, with plenty of space for freestyle, wake style, or foil, even when it gets crowded. Just be careful of the prohibited back lagoon and the seagrass towards Porto Botte in the north.
No major tidal effects here, the spot works well at any time with a steady wind around 20 knots. The best sessions are when the wind picks up in strength, to enjoy the endless space without risking collisions.
