it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stelle per la spiaggia, bella, sabbiosa e tranquilla anche le domeniche in alta stagione. ⭐⭐ 2 stelle per il mare, carino ma inaccessibile senza scarpe da scoglio. Nel complesso la media sarebbe di 3,5 ma arrottondo a 3, in quanto in Sardegna esistono tante spiagge molto più belle di questa. Per il resto, la consiglio a chi cerca relax, senza servizi in una tranquilla spiaggia con pineta retrostante,

it Il posto è molto bello e poco affollato, facile da raggiungere. Si può parcheggiare sulla strada e poi percorrere la sterrata a piedi in circa 10 minuti. Qualche macchina era parcheggiata anche dietro le dune, ma non è consigliabile percorrere lo sterrato se l'auto non è abbastanza alta data la presenza di buche, pietre e radici che emergono dal terreno. NB: al di là delle apparenze, il promontorio di capo caccia non la protegge dal vento di ovest

it Una piccola spiaggia raggiungibile con una camminata di soli 8 minuti dalla strada principale. Arrivati alla spiaggia si trovano pace e tranquillità, mentre tutte le altre spiagge di Alghero ad agosto sono prese d'assalto qui non c'è praticamente nessuno. Da esplorare soprattutto i fondali con tanti pesci e molluschi.
