Salt air and the low creak of wooden platforms meet you before the shoreline comes into view. Paddlers launch from a modest pebble strip near Fossacesia and push into calm Adriatic swells, gliding beneath the wooden arms of the trabocchi and into small coves only reachable by sea.

Conservation
The area’s Posidonia seagrass is ecologically important; keep distance from beds, avoid anchoring in sensitive zones, and pack out all waste to minimize impact.
Reserve your spot on the Cavalluccio kayak excursion in Fossacesia today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Secure your shades
Use a sunglasses strap—reflective sun and salt spray make eyewear loss common on open-water paddles.
Hydrate and snack
Bring at least 1–1.5 liters of water and a light snack; salt air and paddling increase dehydration even on short trips.
Bring reef shoes
Rocky launch points and tidal shallows make closed-toe water shoes or reef sandals useful for entering and exiting kayaks.
Take anti-nausea meds if needed
If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before launch—exposure is open and the kayak’s motion can trigger nausea.
Sunglasses with strap
Protects eyes from glare and prevents loss while paddling.
