<p>This part of the Gargano is loved by kite surfers from around the world for the breezes that make the sparkling sea and also &#8230; stay.</p>
<p>Another issue: the &#8220;Spiaggia Lunga&#8221;, one of the most beautiful villages of the Gargano, is spread over an area of 250,000 square meters<strong> </strong>in a fully shaded area from the sea up to the hill.</p>
<p>A big green and shaded area, which combines the pleasure of working life in contact with the sea, well-being that only the trees and the green can offer in the beautiful summer days.</p>
<p>The hill and the shore zone are linked by a gentle slope, you can walk or take advantage of the free shuttle that connects the two areas, if you want to proceed more quickly and not miss a minute of your vacation.</p>
<p>Entertainment, dance shows and a pride of our village: the Panoramic Hill area is home to a large area with theatre, dance, cocktail bar and more for lovers of nightlife.</p>
<p>In this context, natural and unique, there are different types of residence available. You can stay in one of the 250 bungalows or try the experience of camping in the Gargano and reserve one of the 250 camping sites are scattered along the wide area of the village.</p>
<p>Among the camps of the Gargano this is one that offers more services: sports, restaurants, attractions, but also so much freedom!</p>
<p>The central position of  Spiaggia Lunga is also nice to organize a walk or bike to the hinterland of the Gargano, full of surprises, or excursions to the places of natural, historical, folkloric and religious who are in the surrounding area.</p>
<p>Spiaggia Lunga is ready to grant wishes &#8230; of those who want something more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-284 aligncenter" title="sardegna" src="http://kitesurfdestination.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/sardegna-300x199.jpg" alt="sardegna" width="300" height="199" /></p>
<p>It is all year resort (best time to go is March &#8211; October).  is one of the most stunning islands in the Mediterranean. For kitesurfers and non-kitesurfer alike you will find something here for everyone. With white sandy beaches and crystal clear water as fine as the Caribbean. It is suitable for the beginner to advanced kitesurfer. Sardinia offers kitesurfers not only an ideal climate but also almost perfect wind conditions at least 10 months a year.</p>
<p>Sardinia has four winds depending on the time of year. The Spring brings the tramontana from north to east with 6 &#8211; 8 Beaufort. In the summer the poniente is south/west bringing 4- 8 Beaufort, and in the autumn the scirocco from North Africa with 5-6 Beaufort, and occasionally up to Force 9.</p>
<p>Porto Pollo is located in the windiest point in Sardinia. The proximity to Corsica creates a funnel effect which brings winds that blow up to 8 Beauforts and over. Due to the structure of the two bays you can choose to surf in the protected safe conditions or risk the adventure of sailing in the channel where the waves crest as tall as a rig.</p>
<p>Air temperature in the summer: 26-31°C Water: 21-24°C</p>
<p>Air temperature in the spring/autumn: 18-25°C Water: 17-21°C</p>

<p>Evenings in Sardinia are laid back giving you time to enjoy the good food and relaxed Italian atmosphere. The closest town is Palau, only a short drive or you can get a taxi. This is a great place to hang out and soak up the Sardinian way of life &#8211; bliss.</p>
