About this Kite Area
Castiglione della Pescaia sits just north of Marina di Grosseto on the same stretch of Maremma coast, and the sources describe it as one of the most beautiful beaches in Italy. A medieval castle stands over a working harbour, and the town supplies the restaurants, bars and shops that make this a place to stay rather than simply to ride.
Conditions are shared with Marina di Grosseto alongside: shallow bays, flat water, and modest north-easterly wind averaging around 10 knots with gusts into the low twenties. The season runs March to October, though the windiest months on record fall in winter.
Published detail specific to this beach, as distinct from Marina di Grosseto next door, is thin — the two are generally treated together. Confirm current launch zones locally, as this is a busy and closely managed stretch of coast in summer.
