Stunning beach so long as you dont mind sharing!
Aug 2023 • Family
There is no denying that Porto Istana beach is stunningly beautiful, caressed by warm turquoise water and views out across to Tavolara island.
The only issue will be (in August anyway) the amount of real estate (beach towel space!) you desire, it was limited when we turned up mid afternoon.
Snorkeling was fun but there was not a lot to see, fish limited to Saddled Seabream (black spot on tail).
On the plus side there is plenty of free street parking and a couple of designated car parks.

Beautiful beach
Aug 2022 • Family
Beautiful beach with powder soft sand and a rich Sardinian feel. So picturesque and pleasant. There is a very peaceful feel (despite the beach being highly popular in August) with lots of families. A lot of Italian families on holiday here. English are definitely a minority here. The water is warm and shallow, clear and blue. The sand is very fine and soft under foot. Beautiful

Warning. Robbers all over the place !!!!
Oct 2022 • Couples
The beaches are great but the area is flooded with hire car robbers. We got everything robbed from our car on the first night while we popped in Lidl for milk and bread. They know all the hire cars and fiat panda so easy to break into. A screw driver and a quick twist and they are in. We spoke to others too in our place we stayed and they were robbed too at the beach. We have been to sardinia 5 times and we are never returning. We reported to police but don’t think they were interested. We lost all our clothes ! Everything and had to limp by for the next 9 days. The police also told us we could travel home on the report they gave us but that’s false.

If you enjoy sunbathing it's ideal if not take the walk not a lot of amenities there is a small cafe
Sep 2022 • Couples
As you walk down to the beach ( it's a narrow path down from carpark only about 50 metres) you will be greeted by sellers of beach wear they are not pushy.
The beach is sandy and the water crystal clear.
If you fancy an adventure go right and walk for approximately 300 metres and if your stable on your feet can negotiate a very narrow path with no safety features and follow the coast line slow and steady best wonderful views

Not the best beach in Sardinia
Aug 2022 • Solo
The beach is great: clear and calm water, you can see little fishes . However is a very small beach and the rented chairs occupy a large space on the sand. Moreover the chairs need to be reserved in advance and as a tourist that is not an information easy to find.

Overcrowded but nice beach
Aug 2022 • Family
The beach is very much overcrowded. The car park is far too small for the amount of people visiting so most cars are parked on the street with a long walk to the beach. Once on the beach it is very overcrowded and lots of salesmen hawking their wares. The beach itself is nice and sandy, with shallow waters good for young kids.

Istana is beach paradise!
Jun 2022 • Friends
This beach is absolutely beautiful. Cristal clear and calm water with white sand. You can find easy space around, beach cafe for snacks and fast food. Prices were not too expensive. If you are coming by bus check on arrival the return times because is only 1 bus. Friendly beach for families with children. It has a massive parking space for cars and motorcycles.
