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: 3264 sqm
orientation south-west
cat Sottotorre Beach

The formation of the Sottotorre Beach, it reminds us of a relatively large cove, the proximity to parking lots, services, and its size make it suitable for those who prefer comfort over adventure.

With a length of 272 meters and an average width of approximately 12 meters, it has a surface area of 3264 square meters and can accommodate a maximum of 408 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 Sottotorre Beach is open access, without a specific limit defined by law. The maximum capacity of 408 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 Agosto 2021 , dalle foto in rete appare molto bella ma a pochi metri ci si accorge della pessima gestione . Per fortuna che la gestione ombrelloni e lettini è affidata a Gianluca l'unica persona che si salva da questa recensione . Attento e presente in ogni momento della giornata . Andiamo a continuare a spiegare le due stelle che ho messo . Prima cosa non ci sono docce all'esterno e non ci sono o debbano esserci scuse a tutto ciò . È obbligatorio specie in questo momento di pandemia fare in modo che ci si possa sciacquare dopo essere usciti dal mare . Frammenti di Piante di posidonia senza vita sulla battigia , senza un senso o perlomeno ha una giusta causa cioè preservare gli arenili ma ho avuto modo di capire che in questa spiaggia sembra più una scusa per evitare di tenere pulita la stessa.

it Capisco che poseidonia protegga dall'erosione del litorale e che sia naturale. Ma quando è troppa causa dei miasmi infernali! Per il resto la spiaggia è pulita e il mare limpido. Basterebbe togliere un po'di alghe ogni tanto senza aspettare il maestrale

it La vergogna assoluta! L'attuale amministrazione non è in grado di dragare le alghe morte dalla spiaggia! Vergognoso le persone non possono accedere ed uscire dal mare in modo pulito. Si è costretti ad andare in altre spiagge per non sentire il puzzo di putrido!!!!! Dai prossimi anni sempre meno turisti a calasetta!!!!!

it Spiaggia molto pulita e tenuta bene. Peccato che ci siano spesso alghe anche a riva che causano odori fastidiosi e difficoltà ad entrare in acqua. Basterebbe raccogliere le alghe più spesso senza aspettare il maestrale
