Spiaggia Lu Bagnu
About
Lu Bagnu is a picturesque beach situated a short walk from the historic town of Castelsardo in north‑western Sardinia. The beach offers fine cream‑coloured sand, a crystal‑clear shallow seabed dotted with flat rocks, and turquoise waters that make it ideal for snorkeling, diving and windsurfing. Its calm, family‑friendly waters are protected by green‑lined cliffs, while a nearby stretch, La Capra, provides a natural pool for more adventurous water sports. The beach is easily accessible by a short staircase from the village centre, and free camping is permitted along its shore, making it a popular spot for both day‑trippers and overnight visitors. After a day at Lu Bagnu, visitors are encouraged to explore the charming medieval town of Castelsardo, with its Doria Castle, the Cathedral of Sant’Antonio Abate and its vibrant culinary scene.
