Spiaggia del Gabbiano
Italy · Sardaigne
The Gabbiano beach, located at La Pelosa near Stintino in northern Sardinia, is a kitesurfing spot appreciated for its stable conditions and preserved setting. This white sand spit facing the Torre di Stintino offers an authentic atmosphere, away from the tourist hustle of the main beach.
The spot is distinguished by its particular configuration: two parallel zones with different conditions depending on the wind direction. When one side is choppy, the other remains calm, allowing each rider to find their ideal area. It is a place where locals regularly come to enjoy the steady wind and crystal-clear waters.

Gabbiano offers very interesting conditions for kitesurfing. The dominant wind is the Maestrale (North-West), which blows regularly and creates a side-shore to side-on-shore depending on the chosen area. The beach is divided into two sectors: the east zone with a side off-shore wind and very flat water, ideal for freestyle and beginners; the west zone with a side on-shore wind and a more choppy sea, perfect for freeride and intermediate riders.
Entry is easy along the entire length of the beach. The launch area is cleared and well-ventilated, with no major obstacles. The water surface varies considerably depending on the conditions: in summer with light to moderate wind, the water is flat or slightly wavy; with strong wind, the west zone becomes choppy with small waves. Tides have little influence on the general conditions, but the gradual depth allows good accessibility for all levels.
