Spiaggia di Vignola — Attraction in Aglientu

Kitesurfers beware: New regulations (2024) prohibit kitesurfing on the beach of Vignola Mare during the summer bathing season (officially May until October, apparently enforced from June 15 until September 15). It's unfortunate that the coast guard has chosen this drastic and unreasonable measure. It's not clear if this will change in the future. Until then, kitesurfers should rather spend their time and money at other beaches that have a more reasonable approach allowing the coexistence of swimmers and kitesurfers.

Sign says: "We inform you that the PUL (Coastal Urban Plan) of the municipality of Aglientu for the Vignola Mare area provides for ONLY ONE LAUNCH CORRIDOR.

All in all, we had a...

€18 for two beds with umbrella and table for 4 hours at La Tana Del Grillo. Parking was €1 per hour, easy to park.

Quite area, not packaged. Everyone on the free side has plenty of space. Sun beds on paid side are very far apart.

Sand is made up of tiny stones instead of sand, so it doesn’t burn your feet to walk on.

Some sea algae on the beach but I'm not sure why people expect a beach to be spotless. It's nature, it's not like it's rubbish.

More west on the coast (about 45 minutes away) the waves were very big and strong. They are calmer here.
