This magnificent beach is a picture of unspoilt beauty. A broad band of golden sand, it's sandwiched between a windswept sea and a vast expanse of dunes flecked by hardy green macchia . These towering dunes, known as Sardinia's desert, rise to heights of up to 60m.
The beach is signposted off the SS126 and accessible via Ingurtosu and a 9km dirt track.
Once you exit the SS126 for Ingurtosu, the road descends through a valley lined with the abandoned buildings and machinery of a crumbling 19th-century mining settlement.
Facilities at the beach are limited but in summer one or two beach bars offer showers, umbrellas and sun-loungers.
