La Pelosa Beach
About
La Pelosa beach in Stintino, Sardinia, is often described as a tropical paradise in the heart of the Mediterranean. Its fine, white sand and crystal‑clear turquoise waters extend several meters from shore, creating a tranquil environment that feels far away from the bustle of the town. The beach is partially free—most of its length is open to the public—while a section of the lido is equipped with loungers, umbrellas and rental boats that require a small fee during the warmer months. The surrounding landscape is protected by dunes capped with fragrant pine‑briar, ancient sea stacks such as Capo Falcone, and a small Aragonese tower from 1578, offering dramatic vistas of the Asinara sea and nearby islands. Because the beach gets very busy in July and August, visitors are encouraged to plan ahead and book a ticket early in the season. The natural beauty, calm waters and scenic backdrop make it an iconic spot for both romantic sunset walks and family beach days.
