Petra Ruja Beach (Spiaggia di Petra Ruja) lies just south of Liscia Ruja beach, between Portisco and Capriccioli, 13 kilometers east of Arzachena, along the scenic roads leading you through the Costa Smeralda. This beach is about 500 meters long, and 25 meters wide on average. Some parts of the beach are divided by red rocks, that also surround the beach. Crushed seashells give Petra Ruja Beach a pinkish hue, and the water here is so clear that it’s challenging to assess its depth sometimes. Many a sailboat chooses this spot to lower its anchor in summer. Petra Ruja Beach has no facilities, and it’s approximately a 700 meter (very scenic) walk from the car parking that is located south of Liscia Ruja Beach.
