Head north-west from the center of Alghero for just a few kilometers, and you’ll discover Maria Pia beach (Spiaggia di Maria Pia). Together with Spiaggia delle Bombarde, this beach is one of the best beaches near Alghero. The beach is 1200 meters long and faces southwest, featuring excellent views of the small settlement of Fertilia, the Alghero Bay, and the tiny island named Isola della Maddalenetta, situated 1.5 kilometers off the coast. Spiaggia di Maria Pia is backed by beautiful dunes and a cooling pine forest that can provide some shade during the hottest hours of the day. Interestingly, a lagoon behind the beach named Stagno di Calich is an essential stopover for migratory birds. This adds another layer of intrigue to this area’s appeal. The water at Maria Pia is beautiful and clear, and the sand is clean and white, without too many rocks. If you’re an early riser, Maria Pia is an excellent spot for a morning walk or jog along the shore. The waters at Maria Pia are shallow at first and get deeper gradually, so it’s a good beach for families with children. Plenty of sun loungers are available for rent, and several snack bars dotted along the beach sell drinks and ice cream. The beach is also easily accessible with wheelchairs, it has a wooden pathway.
The parking space is just behind the beach, along the Viale I Maggio road.
