Spiaggia di Barrabisa (south)
Italy · Sardaigne
The Barrabisa Beach, located in Palau in Northern Sardinia, is part of the Porto Pollo and Isuledda complex. It is a historic spot for windsurfing and kitesurfing, featuring a fine sandy beach and dunes protected by low vegetation.
Near the mouth of the Liscia River, there is an area dedicated to kitesurfing, away from crowded zones with bars and windsurfers. Practitioners prepare their equipment in a studious atmosphere, and the landscape with its turquoise waters and nearby islets adds to the spectacle.
The beach is exposed to the Maestrale, making it a popular spot for riders, while also offering quieter corners to settle via paths in the dunes.
Barrabisa Beach is oriented facing northwest, ideal for the Maestrale which blows side-on or side-shore perfect for kitesurfing. The water surface is generally flat to chop near the shore, with more choppy areas offshore for jumps and advanced maneuvers.
Launching is done directly from the wide and spacious sandy beach, with plenty of space for kite takeoff, especially towards the eastern part near Isola dei Gabbiani. Avoid the central crowded area with bathers and windsurfers; head towards the mouth of the Liscia for a dedicated area for kiters, protected by a small porticciolo that limits boat traffic.
The spot is suitable for all levels: beginners enjoy the shallow and calm waters at the shore, while experts take advantage of the consistent wind for freeride or freestyle sessions. Be cautious of sessions in Scirocco which can make the water surface choppy and side-off.
