Porto Pino

An immense expanse of pure white sand dunes.
Porto Pino, a gem in the lower Sulcis region.
The visual impact leaves one speechless. A vast expanse of pure white sand contrasting with the turquoise of the sea. One of the most beautiful landscapes of the island: located in the lower Sulcis area, precisely in Porto Pino, a beach stretching for four kilometers, one part of which is composed of sandy hills reaching up to thirty meters in height. This stretch of dunes, called Is Arenas Biancas, is part of the territory of Teulada. Unfortunately, it’s only accessible in the summer as it falls within the military polygon area. However, most of the beach can be visited during the rest of the year, in the Sant’Anna Arresi area: about three kilometers of fine sand, dunes, and azure sea, adorned with Mediterranean vegetation and rosemary shrubs.

If the dunes represent the most striking visual element, capable of leaving visitors speechless, the entire area possesses unparalleled beauty and value. We’ve mentioned the “hills.” The beaches are clean and pristine. The water is crystal clear. There are coves, the Is Brebeis pond frequented by various species of migratory birds (pink flamingos, kingfishers, little egrets), a diverse vegetation that includes Aleppo pines and ancient junipers. In addition to the Porto Pino beaches, there’s a fourth one, Porto Pinetto: the so-called “beach of the French,” overlooking emerald green waters.
