Roma
Fregene is a kitesurfing spot on the Tyrrhenian coast of Lazio, northwest of Rome. The main practice area is the Villaggio dei Pescatori, with its clean and spacious sandy beach. It is one of the few places around Rome where kitesurfing is allowed in the summer, thanks to a dedicated launch area.
The beach offers a pleasant setting with nice bars to the south, while the north remains quieter and less crowded. After the last kiosk, there is a space reserved for kiters to take off safely. Easily accessible from Fiumicino Airport, it is a convenient spot for a quick session.
The atmosphere is relaxed, popular with locals for its steady wind and proximity to the capital.
