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: 4620 sqm
orientation north-east
cat Santa Maria Beach

The formation of the Santa Maria Beach, it reminds us of a relatively large cove, the distance and isolation make it suitable for the adventurous.

With a length of 330 meters and an average width of approximately 14 meters, it has a surface area of 4620 square meters and can accommodate a maximum of 578 people comfortably.

The Sand

White sand
Very fine sand

The Beach is composed of Very fine sand sand of White sand color, with vegetation behind it, mainly characterized by Mediterranean scrub.

The Sea

Water Turquoise
Water Shallow
Seabed Sandy bottom

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

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 Santa Maria Beach is open access, without a specific limit defined by law. The maximum capacity of 578 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 Denominata anche "la spiaggia dai 7 colori " è una delle più belle della zona. Unico neo la folla di gente che la frequenta anche a settembre. Meglio arrivare alla mattina presto per goderla in pieno. È presente il parcheggio a pagamento comodo all'accesso della spiaggia

it Spiaggia spettacolare. Sabbia fine e chiara, acqua limpidissima. Ci siamo arrivati attraverso un traghetto organizzato da un agenzia, consigliato farlo, sia per il prezzo basso, e soprattutto per quello che ti fanno vedere...favoloso

it Spiaggia stupenda, con sabbia e mare limpido e cristallino. Unica pecca, sigarette sparse per la spiaggia, dico io, mettetevele in un sacchetto invece di lasciarle sulla spiaggia che inquinano, oppure su Amazon trovate i posacenere portatili, ecco comprateli. (Si, le sigarette che trovavo e cercavo le ho prese e buttate io)

it Acqua dai colori stupendi. Purtroppo quando sbarcano le gite dei traghetti che fanno il tour del golfo, la folla è tanta e spesso lascia sporco... Peccato perché è un piccolo paradiso...

it Spiaggia carina. Purtroppo era piena di mozziconi di sigaretta e di fumatori maleducati. Dovrebbero, come in altre spiagge, vietare proprio il fumo. Bar gestito da stranieri con prezzi esorbitanti.
