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: 384 sqm
orientation north-east
cat Porto Rafael Beach

The formation of the Porto Rafael 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 64 meters and an average width of approximately 6 meters, it has a surface area of 384 square meters and can accommodate a maximum of 48 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 Shallow
Seabed Sand and rocks

The sea has a Green 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 Porto Rafael Beach is open access, without a specific limit defined by law. The maximum capacity of 48 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 Bella vista, purtroppo solo ed un unico bar/ristorante in piazza (con personale non molto accogliente) e la spiaggia poteva esser tenuta meglio, mi aspettavo di più vista la sua fama. 3 stelle solo per la bellezza delle ville e dei giardini intorno.

it Una " chicca " da visitare sicuramente, con un piccolo porticciolo, una piccola piazzetta dove nulla è fuori posto, perfino le bouganvilles che la ornano sono strapiene di fiori dal colore intenso. Una vera meraviglia!

it Una delle piu belle piazze sul mare del mediterraneo, un piccolo gioiello. Si arriva sia a piedi che dal mare, ci sono un bar, un ristorante, un b&b e diverse attività commerciali. Le architetture di gusto coloniale spagnolo sono il lascito del suo ideatore e fondatore conte Rafael Nevile di Berlagna; sotto ad uno degli archi, tra i portici e le scalette che cingolo la piazza alcune maioliche ricordano una famosa frase del conte: "sognare è vivere"
