chi sono

Hello, I'm Fabrizio, I've been living in Sardinia for over 34 years and I wanted to share my experience of Sardinian beaches with you!

I will guide you in discovering your perfect beach!

Characteristics and Type of Beach

Small cove
Surface Area: 142 sqm
orientation north-east
cat Elefante Beach

The formation of the Elefante Beach is characterized by the dense vegetation behind it, located in a relatively inaccessible area, it reminds us of an unspoiled small cove, the distance and isolation make it suitable for the adventurous.

With a length of 71 meters and an average width of approximately 2 meters, it has a surface area of 142 square meters and can accommodate a maximum of 18 people comfortably.

The Sand

Yellow sand
Fine sand

The Beach is composed of Fine sand sand of Yellow sand color, with vegetation behind it, mainly characterized by Mediterranean scrub.

The Sea

Water Turquoise
Water Shallow
Seabed Sand and rocks

The sea has a Turquoise color, with a mixed seabed of sand and rocks.

The bathymetric lines are far apart, so the depth gradually decreases, classifying it as a beach with shallow water.

Restrictions and Protection

No Sand Collection
No Shell Collection

The Elefante Beach is open access, without a specific limit defined by law. The maximum capacity of 18 people is purely indicative and is determined using the guidelines of beach resorts, assuming approximately 8 square meters per person, taking into account beach chairs or towels, umbrellas, and a perimeter passage area.

It should also be noted that on all Sardinian coasts, Article 40 of Regional Law No. 16 of July 28, 2017, paragraph 2, states: Except where the act constitutes a more serious offense, anyone who removes, possesses, sells even small quantities of sand, pebbles, stones, or shells from the coast or the sea without proper authorization or concession issued by the competent authorities is subject to an administrative fine of 500 to 3,000 euros.

it Caletta molto bella. Nelle spiaggete che si trovano in loco sono presenti dei lettini e ombrelloni delle ville soprastanti. È raggiungibile dalla spiaggia La Celvia con 10/15 minuti, passando dagli scogli. L'accesso non è semplice soprattutto per le persone non atletiche, ma dovrebbe esserci il servizio di taxi boat.

it Posto bellissimo e da visitare assolutamente !! Unica cosa , il percorso per arrivare alla spiaggia dagli scogli è molto complicato ed è più difficile di quanto dicono , meglio avere le scarpe apposite ( parcheggiate vicino alla spiaggia della celvia , scendete e andate a destra fino a trovarvi davanti a un gruppo di scogli ) . Si può arrivare anche a nuoto ( 15 min di nuotata ) oppure affittare un pedalò. Mio consiglio , non fermatevi solo alla spiaggia dell’elefante ma proseguite avanti perché le altre calette sono anche loro spettacolari da vedere .

it Spiaggia suggestiva, meravigliosa! Da non perdere! Però…davvero difficile raggiungerla a piedi. Il percorso da fare tra gli scogli è un sali scendi molto impegnativo ed a tratti rischioso a causa delle pendenze e a seconda della marea anche per le zone scivolose. Se non siete molto giovani ed atletici vi consiglio vivamente di prendere un Pedaló alla spiaggia de La Celvia. Con 20 euro per un’ora ci si arriva tranquillamente in 10/15 minuti, si ha il tempo di scattare qualche foto e farsi un bagno per poi tornare.

it La spiaggia è bella, però arrivarci passando per gli scogli è molto difficile e rischioso, forse a nuoto è più facile da raggiungere, ma se si vuole portare qualcosa con sé diventa quasi impossibile. Se proprio volete andarci consiglio di mettere le scarpe apposta per andare sugli scogli e non avere nulla con sé.
