- Ana DBucharest, Romania9 contributionsAmazing beach with clear water
I like the more rocky beaches because I don't like to be many people and this beach was perfect
I didn't book a ticket in the beach with sand, firstly I didn't know that you need to book it, but the second I like it more wild nature.
But if you are coming without a reservation on a rocky beach bring something you sit on, because although a towel might be OK its not very comfortableWritten September 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Pavlos ZAthens, Greece18 contributionsThat beach (also the rest of orosei) is a reason to visit Sardinia. Turquoise waters, spectacular scenery.

- Louis BMontreal, Canada157 contributionsDecided to stay in Maddalena for 3 nights, on our way to Costa Smeralda. Great decision. Much better destination than the coast. Plus if you love visiting, cycling, hiking, secluded beaches, everything is there. I would recommend to not make the mistake of only visiting for the day. The village has a lot to offer, plenty of great places to just sit have a coffee, great restaurants. Plus staying ion Maddalena, gives you the chance to visit the city, the island, get on Caprera for hiking from fabulous coves to coves. We did not do the boat day tours, though no time. Maddalena was a highlight of our tripWritten June 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- SouzanErlangen, Germany39 contributionsWe happened to find this beach by coincidence and were blown away.
It was tucked away, locals welcomed the tourists and the beach was held very clean.
You were offered cold fruit for way too much money, but it was so worth it.Written July 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Also a very good (and flat) jogging and cycling route if you enjoy that. Not that many restaurants for such a large area and the ones I went in struggled with English...but nothing Google Translate couldn't fix.Written May 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NikJAscot, UK843 contributionsParked 1km from the end in an EasyPark bay. Walked the last stretch into capo testa. Used AllTrails for an overview of all the trails around the park.
From the entrance by the cafe, went right and along the coastland path. Went to the far north area to the climb up to the rock.
Nice, though in sept was still v hot so plenty of water required.Written September 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There were, however, tickets available on the morning when we turned up at 8am.
We stayed in a really cute B&B in Baunei so got to the entrance when it opened. Parking is at Su Porteddu bar. At the entrance there was someone there checking shoes to make sure we had the right footwear. It was quite a rugged hike and I felt more “moderate” than “easy”! It took us 1.5 hours to get there. Was definitely worth the effort with the view you got at the end! Take lots of water and food as there are no facilities on the beach itself. It is very stoney so we were glad we had brought our wet shoes with us. It took us the same amount of time to get back and we felt a little easier as was ascending rather than descending. We took a boat trip the following day around the Baunei coast and viewed the beach from there as the boats are not allowed to pull up in the beach. It honestly felt like a different beach viewing it from the outside! So glad we did the hike because it was a much better experience than just viewing it from the water. A really lovely day.Written October 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Sand is comfortable and not sticky. Clean and green surroundings. There are also 2 beach bar/restaurants with restroom.
Make sure to arrive there before 9 am as there is only a limited capacity and it can get full quickly after 9. I saw few other similar ones within 10-15 minute drive nearby.
We returned twice during our holidays in Sardegna as it was one of the most outstanding beaches during our trip.
Make sure to try the brioche and espresso in the near by, bar at just 8 minutes drive from this beach, in the town of domus maria.Written August 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LeighHEngland380 contributionsReally lovely beach and perfect for families with small children because the bay protects the waters so it’s really calm and you can walk out for ages and it doesn’t get too deep. You can hire boats and a few options for snacks etc.
It gets exceptionally busy and it really feels that way because the entire length of beach is pretty long but very narrow and people fill every last bit of it!
The car park is a decent size but I think it gets filled quickly. It was €2.50 a hour in Sept 2023 and we paid €22.50 for the day!!
That said we had a great day- we wrote off the car parking as we brought snacks and drink with us to offset! We also treated ourselves to sun beds that we booked in advance. Instead of paying €60 for 2 right on the beach we paid €35 for 2 which were set a little further back (via spiagge.it) which was better for us as we could still enjoy the beach and then go for a rest in a calmer setting (if I had little kids I wouldn’t bother and would walk to the end of the beach- to the left if looking at water) and set up camp as all they want to do is paddle
Was lovelyWritten September 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Uniquely, the sand here is of the larger white-quartz type, and your feet sink in with every step. The water is gorgeous, although the sea floor drops quickly after just a handful of meters. There are several bars along the beach, with paid toilets, but we did not see any rental facilities.Written September 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ahb4208Barcelona, Spain18 contributionsWe took one of the boat tours from Alghero. It's about an hour ride each way and the tour takes about 45 minutes.The water at the cave is amazingly blue and clear. Once you get in the cave, you purchase a ticket for the cave tour. The cave itself is gorgeous and well worth the time and money.
The only problem with the tour is there are too many people in the group. We were near the back of the line and found it difficult to know what she was talking about. The other problem is people stop to take pictures and that holds up the line as well.
In addition to taking the boat, you can drive if you have a car and use the steps to get to the cave, however there are over 600 steps. Going down the steps will be easy, but climbing back up... not so much.Written October 18, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Maria Pia has beautiful trees that are offering shade - but come really early to get your spot between the trees. Also be careful about the signs around the trees, some spots cannot be access and the police is coming to check it regularly (signs only in Italian)
So far the only beach with shells underwater that we found - good for snorkeling ! :)Written August 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
