The best beaches in Stintino: white sand and wild nature
Stintino and surroundings - 27 June 2025
When you arrive in Stintino, it’s immediately clear: this isn’t just another stretch of coastline – it’s a slice of Sardinia that feels like a dream.
Crystal-clear waters, powdery white sand, endless horizons – the beaches of Stintino are among the most spectacular in the Mediterranean.
But there’s more than just the famous La Pelosa Beach. Around it, you’ll find hidden coves, long wild shores, and peaceful bays where the sea changes color throughout the day.
Here’s your complete guide to the most beautiful beaches in Stintino – perfect for discovering the more authentic and untouched side of northern Sardinia.
La Pelosa Beach: the queen of Stintino
It’s the iconic postcard view: La Pelosa, with its flour-white sand and calm, transparent water that looks almost surreal.
Sheltered by a small island with a 17th-century watchtower, it’s ideal for families, offering shallow waters, no waves, and breathtaking scenery.
Because of its beauty and popularity, La Pelosa Beach has limited daily access during summer, with specific rules: online booking required, the use of beach mats (no towels directly on the sand), no smoking, and strict entrance checks.
Tip: Go early in the morning or late in the afternoon – the light is magical and the beach is less crowded.
Le Saline Beach: white sand and wide open spaces
Just a few minutes from La Pelosa, but in a very different setting, lies Le Saline Beach.
Here, the landscape opens up: pale sand mixed with smooth white pebbles, a transparent sea, ample parking, and eco-friendly beach facilities.
It’s ideal if you’re looking for space and fewer crowds, with both serviced and completely free beach areas.
Ezzi Mannu: the quietest spot
Head south toward Porto Torres and you’ll find Ezzi Mannu Beach.
Long and peaceful, with sections shaded by Mediterranean scrub and a sea that shimmers with emerald tones, this is the perfect escape for those seeking calm and silence.
Easily accessible by car, Ezzi Mannu is a favorite among locals – far from the typical tourist routes.
Cala Lupo, Punta Negra, Pazzona: hidden alternatives worth exploring
If you enjoy exploring off the beaten path, the coastline around Stintino offers some hidden gems:
- Cala Lupo: great for snorkeling, with dark rocks and deep water
- Punta Negra: soft golden sand, gentle seabed, and a relaxing vibe
- Spiaggia Pazzona: a wilder stretch of coast, with dunes and untouched vegetation
These places often lack beach bars or services – and that’s exactly the charm. Time slows down, and everything smells of freedom.
When to go (and how to avoid the crowds)
Summer is beautiful, but busy – especially in July and August, when La Pelosa gets packed.
The best months to enjoy the beaches of Stintino are June and September: warm sea, perfect weather, and a more relaxed atmosphere.
Even during high season, though, you can find peaceful corners – just go early in the morning or after 5 PM, or head to the lesser-known beaches, where nature still reigns.
