Pinarellu

Pinarellu is a small bay located on the east coast of Corsica, characterized by a sheltered anchorage with turquoise shallow waters. The spot features a sandy beach backed by dense Mediterranean vegetation and residential development, with a lagoon system visible inland. The bay is partially enclosed by rocky headlands, creating a protected body of water frequently used by moored sailboats and leisure vessels. This configuration offers calm, choppy conditions suitable for beginners learning body-dragging and basic maneuvers. Northwesterly winds (around 315°) provide reliable side-shore conditions along the beach. The shallow bay waters and numerous moored boats limit maneuver space and require careful positioning. Wind reliability remains low (5.4%), making conditions inconsistent. Wave heights average 0.39m, indicating minimal swell penetration. Best suited for beginner to early intermediate kiters seeking sheltered practice conditions rather than challenging wave riding. Access may be restricted due to residential areas and private beaches.
