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: 450 sqm
orientation north-east
cat Porto Faro Beach

The formation of the Porto Faro Beach is characterized by the dense vegetation behind it, located in a relatively inaccessible area, it reminds us of an unspoiled small cove, the proximity to parking lots, services, and its size make it suitable for those who prefer comfort over adventure.

With a length of 75 meters and an average width of approximately 6 meters, it has a surface area of 450 square meters and can accommodate a maximum of 56 people comfortably.

The Sand

Yellow sand
Coarse sand

The Beach is composed of Coarse sand sand of Yellow sand color, however, due to its morphology, there is no indigenous vegetation behind it.

The Sea

Water Green
Water Deep
Seabed Sand and rocks

The sea has a Green 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 Porto Faro Beach is open access, without a specific limit defined by law. The maximum capacity of 56 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 Porto Faro, Un gioiello incastonato nel cuore di Palau, a pochi passi dal centro abitato Porto Faro è una delle spiagge più caratteristiche del nord Sardegna, che deriva il nome da un faro bianco che con la sua punta dipinta di verde domina una piccola insenatura intagliata nella località Punta Palau. Da qui si apre la vista su tutto il parco nazionale dell’arcipelago, dalla ‘sorella maggiore’ La Maddalena alle isole minori di Santo Stefano e Caprera. Incredibile ma Vero Da Visitare !!!

it Spiaggia un po piccola ma con sabbia bianca e non tanto fine, mare stupendo acqua trasparente bellissima, panorama stupendo con l'arcipelago della Maddalena sullo sfondo, facile da raggiungere a piedi un po complicato trovare parcheggio soprattutto nei mesi estivi.
