The Sea

it Spiaggia con luci e ombre. Quando c'è il vento "giusto" e il mare calmo è stupenda, mare cristallino e pulito (qualche alga ma tengono pulito) al pari delle migliori spiagge della sardegna, quando invece c'è il vento "sbagliato" e il mare mosso cambia completamente: il mare diventa opaco e si riempie di alghe galleggianti, sembra di essere nell'alto mar adriatico. Per essere la spiaggia di una grande città e tenendo conto di tutti i servizi che offre è comunque ottima, consigliata se non si è a Cagliari.

it Non do 5 stelle perché è una spiaggia da 10 stelle che sarebbe fruibile tutto l'anno se avesse i servizi adeguati. Ma forse è così bella anche per questo.
