About the spot

Puntone near Scarlino sits in the southern Gulf of Follonica. Resident watersports centres offer kite lessons from the sandy bay beach. This listing identifies that organised area rather than the whole busy town beach at Follonica.

Moderate conditions can suit supervised learning and freeriding. Wind angle, available launching space and bathing activity must align; a bay setting does not guarantee flat water. Harbour structures and other watersports limit escape options. Beginners should arrange lessons, while independent riders should confirm the designated entry.
