Overview

It is situated in the Gallura region, where the coastline meets the Mediterranean Sea with crystalline, shallow waters. The beach is flanked by a significant pine forest providing natural shelter and shade. It remains a focal point for the wider Trinità d'Agultu e Vignola municipality, known for its exposure to the Mistral wind.

Insider tips

Bring wind-resistant beach gear, as the exposure to the Mistral wind can cause sudden gusts.

Wear water shoes if you intend to explore the areas where granite boulders enter the water, as the rocks can be slippery.

Take advantage of the pine forest trails for short hikes to view the coastline from higher elevations.

What to avoid

Do not leave belongings unattended in the pine forest areas, as the trees offer less visibility than the open sand.

Good to know

Lifeguard services and beach amenities are typically available only during the summer season.

Etiquette

Take all trash with you to protect the dune ecosystem; removing sand or shells is prohibited by regional law.
