The beach can be a place of relaxation for many but also an ideal place to practice many water sports including WIND SURF.
If you love the sea and not just that of the sunbed and umbrella and you love to live it actively, you are in the right place, where the sea and the waves are not desired.
You can practice Wind surfing, surfing and kite surfing especially in the initial stretch of the Lido, a few minute walk from the historic center, in the stretch of Mugoni beach, and in that of Porto Ferro beach, about twenty kilometers from Alghero.
They are very different spots both for the seabed and for the different winds that blow there.
