Spiaggia di Genn'e Mari is a prominent coastal feature located in the residential community of Torre delle Stelle in southeastern Sardinia. The beach is characterized by its light, fine-grained sand and clear, turquoise-tinted waters typical of the Mediterranean coastline. It is bordered by rocky granite outcrops that define the edges of the bay. The seabed slopes gradually, making the shore accessible for wading and shallow-water swimming. The beach is exposed to various wind patterns, including the Sirocco and Mistral, which influence water conditions. It serves as a primary recreational area for the local residential neighborhood during the summer season. The coastline in this area is composed of granite geological formations common to the Cagliari province. Infrastructure includes seasonal beach service providers and local amenities available within the immediate vicinity.

Do not remove sand, pebbles, or shells from the beach, as this is strictly prohibited by regional Sardinian environmental law.
