Focene
Focene, at the mouth of the Tiber just north of Fiumicino, hosts an official summer kite-zone for the Rome kite community run by the FSKI school, and comes into its own when the Maestrale wind backs around to a northerly. It's described as a well-known local gathering spot rather than a dramatic wave break.
