Kitesurfing in Liguria

5 spots · 1 destination · 1 schools

Riviera wind here leans synoptic more than thermal: Levante fills Arma di Taggia's breakwater bay, while Andora relies on the Capo Mimosa thermal for the 15-knot days when the rest of the coast dies.

Albenga and Fiumaretta both work river mouths — the Centa and the Magra — mixing flat shallows with chop and wave days when Libeccio or Tramontana blow, and Borgo Prino keeps it simple with a regulated launch corridor near Imperia's cycle path.

Liguria holds 5 kitesurf spots in our atlas, grouped into 1 destination. The season runs April to October. 4 of them suits beginners. 1 school operates in the region. The busiest areas are Arma di Taggia & Borgo Prino.
