About the spot

Botricello lies west of Steccato di Cutro in the Gulf of Squillace. Local operators explicitly identify this long sandy coast for kite lessons and independent sessions. The entry covers the Botricello area, not a guaranteed corridor at every beach access.

Schools can supervise beginners in moderate conditions. Stronger wind or swell turns the open coast into a more demanding wave area. Independent riders need reliable upwind skills and a clear exit. Operators may change sections with the season, so arrange the meeting point and current access beforehand.
