cat Sant'Elia Beach

The formation of the Sant'Elia 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 50 meters and an average width of approximately 8 meters, it has a surface area of 400 square meters and can accommodate a maximum of 50 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 Turquoise
Water Shallow
Seabed Sand and rocks

The sea has a Turquoise 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 Sant'Elia Beach is open access, without a specific limit defined by law. The maximum capacity of 50 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 Una piccola perla semisconosciuta, con acqua cristallina e sabbia chiarissima, circondata da rocce, arbusti e silenzio. Ad esclusione dell'adiacente ristorante, infatti (peraltro dove si mangia un ottimo pesce), non vi sono altre fonti di rumore, e l'unica strada presente è quella di accesso, quindi non vi è traffico. La spiaggia di Sant'Elia e un'oasi di pace e tranquillità.

it È una piccola spiaggia vicina alla città ma che ti fa sentire come se fossi da tutt'altra parte... tranquilla e riservata fino a che non arriva l'estate ?

it Spiaggia vicina al centro, veloce da raggiungere ma con un tratto sterrato abbastanza dissestato. È abbastanza frequentata ma nonostante questo pulita. L 'acqua ha dei colori bellissimi ma il fondo risulta un Po' torbido e inquinato. Ottima per qualche ora al mare ma se si ha a disposizione la giornata si trova di meglio spostandosi dal centro!

it La spiaggia di sant' Elia è una piccola insenatura corteggiata ai lati da rocce, è piena di alghe e frequentata soprattutto dagli abitanti del quartiere. E' difficile poter fare un bagno in mare con comodità perché il fondale marino è tappezzato di pietre.la spiaggia non è confortevole ma,la vista verso il mare che offre è meravigliosa.
