Porto Pino
Between sand dunes and gusty winds, kiters are immersed in a very suggestive spot
You don’t need to have exotic dreams, heaven is closer than you think.
Don’t go to the other side of the world to find it.
Live the dream at the center of Mare Nostrum, in the south-west of Sardinia.
Porto Pino is a place of enchantment, where nature has produced its masterpiece.
The bay of Porto Pino is located almost entirely within the territory of Sant’Anna Arresi (Sulcis), and appears to be an ecosystem in perfect natural balance, with dazzling white beaches immersed in blue tones of the deep blue sea. You will find dunes of fine white sand, similar to those of the desert, coves of pink sand with transparent bottoms, a lagoon populated by pink flamingos and woods with very rare and fragrant Aleppo pines, thorny oaks, centuries-old junipers and luxuriant Mediterranean scrub. The extensive pine forest on the border between the sea and the dunes gives the place its name.
During summer, the beach is served by kiosks and bars, while for services in the winter the reference point will be the nearby center of Sant’Anna Arresi.
The inlet extends for over six kilometers and kitesurfing in this naturalistic pearl is an unforgettable experience: immerse yourself in the beauty of the place, with the winds entering from the South-East, South and South-West: even if a little gusty, results will be better even for beginner kiters.
West winds are capable of forming big waves, albeit a little messy, and are not suitable for beginners. The Mistral comes from the right side, very often refined: this makes it unsuitable for those who are just starting out.
Porto Pino is therefore a point of reference especially for more experienced kiters.
