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

Cove
Surface Area: 854 sqm
orientation north-east
cat Nelson Beach

The formation of the Nelson Beach, it reminds us of a relatively large cove, the proximity to parking lots, services, and its size make it suitable for those who prefer comfort over adventure.

With a length of 122 meters and an average width of approximately 7 meters, it has a surface area of 854 square meters and can accommodate a maximum of 107 people comfortably.

The Sand

Yellow sand
Coarse sand

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

The Sea

Water Emerald
Water Deep
Seabed Sand and rocks

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

The bathymetric lines approach as you move away from the shore, characteristic of a beach with deep water.

Restrictions and Protection

No Sand Collection
No Shell Collection

The Nelson Beach is open access, without a specific limit defined by law. The maximum capacity of 107 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.

Private Vehicles

You can reach the beach by private vehicle, using the road that leads to the parking area near the beach.

By Sea

You can also reach the beach by sea using small boats, either private or rented, utilizing the dedicated launching corridor on the beach. Furthermore, it should be noted that the launching corridor is generally intended for transit purposes for unloading/loading. The boat should be anchored according to the instructions of the beach staff. In the absence of a launching corridor, the boat should be moored at a certain distance from the coast.

it Spiaggia immersa nella natura, molto piccola e poco frequentata. Acqua cristallina Non sono presenti parcheggi , si parcheggia dove si può sulla strada Accesso alla spiaggia attraverso un cancello che pare un ingresso di una residenza privata Non sono presenti bar, servizi e noleggio lettini Spiaggia molto tranquilla di sabbia color ocra Merita davvero se si vuole stare tranquilli Portatevi un ombrellone

it Spiaggia piccolina ma raccolta e molto carina. Frequentata prevalentemente dai residenti del villaggio, molto curato, silenzioso e accogliente.il posto ideale per passare le vacanze con i bambini che fanno subito gruppo e possono giocare in un ambiente chiuso e controllato

it Una spiaggia nascosta da un complesso residenziale, tanto da non capire se potesse essere privata o accessibile a tutti. Si entra lateralmente ad un enorme cancello bianco riservato agli ospiti del posto. C'è un cancelletto "pedonale" sempre aperto. Scendendo giù per circa 300mt si arriva ad una piccola spiaggetta quasi totalmente mangiata dalle onde. L'acqua è cristallina, lateralmente ci sono gli accessi ai giardini privati delimitati da formazioni rocciose. Abbastanza tranquilla, la vegetazione alle spalle fornisce refrigerio nelle ore più calde. Arrivando presto si riesce a parcheggiare prima del cancello di accesso.
