With a total length of nearly 5.5 kilometers, it is one of the longest beaches of west Sardinia, making this beach very suitable for relaxing walks along the shore, preferably when the sun starts setting.

On this beach you can enjoy complete privacy, with breathtaking sunsets at the end of your day and starry skies at night.
