Porto Pollo, one of the world kitesurf and windsurf meccas, has two beautiful bays created by the promontory of Isola dei Gabbiani, with far reaching views to the archipelago of the Magdalena Islands.
The huge sandy bay situated on the north-east of Sardinia is divided in two by a sandy landstrip, ending in a small island with a residential village on it.
The kite area is a 10-15 minutes walk from the schools area. Is far more easy to take the car and park in the area close to the kite zone. Some cars' glasses got broken and things stolen, so better not to leave any thing in it.
The place is pictoresque and the waters are the typical Sardinia's clear ones. Being a very popular spot, it can get very crowded during weekends and at holiday time, so be careful in the water.
The dunes along the bay offer shelter to non-kiting partners looking to soak up some sun on the beach.
