Le Saline Beach, Stintino: where time softens and the sky feels wider

There are beaches you find on postcards, and then there are beaches that find you, quietly, with every breath you take.
Le Saline Beach, just a few minutes from the village of Stintino, is not made of glamour.
It’s made of space, light, and a kind of silence that only wide horizons can give.

Where is Le Saline Beach?

Where is Le Saline Beach located? Just south of Stintino, Le Saline Beach is about 10 minutes by car from the town center and is also easily accessible by bike or scooter.

Unlike the famous La Pelosa, Le Saline never feels crowded, its vast expanse of white pebbles and shallow, clear water gives you space to breathe and a sense of calm the moment you arrive.

It’s a perfect choice for travelers looking to experience the authentic side of Sardinia, surrounded by wild wind, open skies, and a sea that speaks in whispers.

What makes Le Saline special?

Here, the sand isn’t really sand, it’s made of tiny, smooth quartz pebbles, pale and sunlit.

The water is crystal clear, especially in the morning, and the gentle slope into the sea makes it ideal for long, slow walks at the edge of the surf.

There’s no loud music. No tightly packed umbrellas. Just nature. Just you.

On calm days, the sea becomes a mirror.

Among the most unique features of Le Saline Beach are the old salt warehouses, still standing by the shore, sun-bleached and silent.

Why is it called Le Saline Beach? Because this coastline was once home to salt extraction sites, and the name still carries that history.

When to visit Le Saline Beach

Go early.

The light just after sunrise is soft and golden, and the breeze still holds the quiet of the night.
Or visit in the late afternoon, when the sun begins to dip into the sea, coloring everything in amber and rose.

June and September are the ideal months: luminous, peaceful, and timeless.
