Kite Spot: Grado – The sand island
Spot description
Between the Spiaggia Libera “Le dune di Grado” and the Spiaggia Al Bosco is a sand island that changes is size depending on the tide. From the parking lot you can reach the island by walking through the knee-high salt water. Be vigilant where you place your equipment and belongings because after your session it could be high tide and your stuff might be wet or even swimming away.
Starting from the island the preferred wind directions are east and south wind. Watch out for the swimming area on the west side of the sand bench. The spot usually offers flat water conditions and shallow water in range of the island.
You can easily who dropped their kite the most by looking at the amount of seaweed in their lines.
