Overview

The 'desert dunes' of the Costa Verde: golden sand hills up to 60 m high shaped by the Maestrale, fully exposed to the west. Wild, shadeless and famous for long surf waves and the deer that sometimes come down to the sea.

Why go

A go-to choice for anyone visiting southern Sardinia: a recognised natural setting, distinctive sea colours and the classic Sardinian beach-day experience, best enjoyed when the daily conditions cooperate.

Wind & sea exposure

Beach exposed to the Maestrale: when the wind picks up, the sea builds quickly and sand can fly. Prefer days with light Maestrale or offshore winds.

Family suitability

Whether the beach feels family-friendly varies by day — check wind, sea state and access before travelling with children.

Parking & access

Parking can vary by season — plan to arrive early in July and August and check for any local restrictions before leaving.

Best time to visit

The best days are usually those with calm seas and no sustained Maestrale. Early morning and late afternoon are the most comfortable windows in summer, while June and September often hit the sweet spot of temperature, crowds and conditions.

How AURA helps you choose the right day

AURA compares the wind, sea and weather forecast for every Sardinian beach and summarises whether the day looks favourable, acceptable or best avoided. Check the live version of this page before leaving to see today's AURA score and pick the best window.
