Ask Italians about their favorite Sardinian beaches, and they’ll surely mention Spiaggia della Pelosa. With its shallow turquoise waters and white sands, it is a true Sardinian oasis and arguably one of the best beaches of Europe.
One of the westernmost beaches of Sardinia, La Pelosa is just 2 kilometers away from the harbor village of Stintino, in Capo Falcone, in the province of Sassari. The beach is 300 meters long – and up to 60 meters wide in some spots – and faces northeast, offering marvelous views of Isola Piana, situated 600 meters off the coast and the larger Isola Asinara behind it.
An ancient sixteenth-century watchtower accompanies Spiaggia La Pelosa, the Torre della Pelosa, which used to be part of Sardinia’s marine defense system. Since this is a popular diving area, there are two nearby diving centers: the Asinara Diving Center and the Roccaruja Diving Center. Both offer diving excursions in the Capo Falcone area. Surfboards and canoes are for rent at the Stintino Windsurfing Center nearby.
Unsurprisingly, the beach can get crowded during peak season in July and August, but if you find yourself in the area of Sassari or Porto Torres, Spiaggia La Pelosa is definitely worth a visit. For many Europeans, La Pelosa is a marvelous opportunity to experience a Caribbean-style beach at a fraction of the cost.
A must-see beach.
