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

Long beach
Surface Area: 24000 sqm
orientation south-west
cat Pistis Beach

The formation of the Pistis Beach is characterized by a long beach that extends for hundreds of meters, the proximity to parking lots, services, and its size make it suitable for those who prefer comfort over adventure.

With a length of 400 meters and an average width of approximately 60 meters, it has a surface area of 24000 square meters and can accommodate a maximum of 3000 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 Emerald
Water Deep
Seabed Sandy bottom

The sea has a Emerald color, with a predominantly sandy seabed.

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 Pistis Beach is open access, without a specific limit defined by law. The maximum capacity of 3000 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.
