Kitesurfing in Marche
8 spots · 2 destinations · 5 schools
Portonovo is the outlier along this Conero-coast run of eight beaches: tucked under Monte Conero, its Venturi effect can turn a summer Scirocco flat and lake-like for freestyle when everywhere else stays choppy.
Numana keeps things light-wind and beginner-friendly on pebble shingle, La Pineta goes flat behind the breakwater at Porto Recanati, and La Sentina at the Tronto mouth trades sand for stone and storm swell on the sturdier days.
Marche holds 8 kitesurf spots in our atlas, grouped into 2 destinations. Riding here is mostly chop and flat water. Something is rideable here in every month of the year.
5 of them suits beginners. 5 schools operate in the region. The busiest areas are Marche — Porto Potenza Picena to Numana and Marina Palmense & Kite Beach Civitanova.
