About the spot

Barletta's kite area lies on the Ponente side by Lungomare Pietro Mennea. The local school uses this long sandy beach for instruction and riding. This entry covers that section, not the harbour facilities or the whole town beach.

Moderate conditions permit supervised learning, while stronger sea wind brings chop and waves. Beginners should book lessons; independent riders need reliable upwind control and a managed departure. Confirm the precise sports area, seasonal separation from swimmers and any available recovery support locally.
