- David W23 contributionsI recently lost my orange shoes with socks in them on the beach today ( 24. September 2024). Right side of the dock.

- Clara GVence, France81 contributionsThis beautiful beach was 5 minutes from our hotel! First day we were in love with the white sand and clear water. The water temperature was quite fresh already for middle October . They have parking and small coffee shops around.

Do not be put off by some of the descriptions regarding it’s difficulty and how long it takes. My wife , me and two children did it and it took roughly one and a half hours to get down and surprisingly the same amount of time to get back up. Getting back up was not nearly as hard as I thought it would be and actually went by rather quickly. I am 68 years old and in good shape and had no difficulty with the walk. We all did it in sneakers with no problem , but I would suggest a hiking shoe of some sort. You don’t need any ankle support necessarily. The beach is lovely, the walk is very scenic, and towards the end on the way down is a large rock pinnacle that must be at least 300 meters tall and there were a few rock climbers at the time which made for a stunning view – they were like ants on a hill.Written November 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RubberDuckMoss, Norway176 contributionsSo, if you're going to Sardinia or Corsica, make sure you get to do a tour of the archipelago surrounding La Maddalena Island tucked in to the northeast of mainland Sardinia and southeast of Corsica. It is simply breathtaking, with the shades of turqouise waters, smaller and some bigger sandy beaches, nooks and crannies all around these islands and just smell the salt water and feel the breeze. Having lived in the Caribbean; this is the closest I've seen to that, in the Mediterranean.
Lots of these beaches are only accessible by sea, and boat (rented or on a tour) is the way to go to make sure you really get what this place has to offer. The clearest of clear waters, wild and erratic rocks and formations, in all shades of sandy/terracotta/granite and the juniper bushes that thrive all around all of these rocky islands. If you're into underwater, bring your googles/snorkeling gear- as that's where the real show is on!
Had we stayed for longer than a week, we might have done yet another trip out and about the archipelago, just because there seems to be so many islands to see. Keep in mind that this is a national park, so please do what you can to help preserve it - no littering, and be respectful of both flora and fauna.
If you have time, do head in to La Maddalena town as well - it is rather pictoresque and quaint, and has a selection of restaurants and bars, as well as some shopping for those who'd rather do that than more swimming.Written July 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Sunbeds for rent and a couple of small places to have drinks and simple food.
I am here in Oct on a Saturday. It's not too busy.
Water is super.
It's very windy on the west side so I came here. The sea is more calm. It depends on the weather. Here the sun starts earlier than the west side.. Just watch the season.Written October 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Andy LCadiz, Spain207 contributionsFirst things first, this is a beach that you have to book and pay to visit and then pay to park your car. Not sure if it's any better than the hundreds of free beaches...maybe.
We had two experiences on the same day. We went to the north end in the morning and were not that impressed. Ten minute walk to the beach, sand nothing special and the sea not particularly impressive. After lunch we entered via the south car park and had a much better time. Shallow warm turquoise water that was great for splashing around in.
It's quite a narrow beach so it was a bit crowded even though numbers are limited.
All in all, a good day out but if you can't book tickets in high season it's not as though it's loads better than other beaches on this coastWritten August 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Uniquely, the sand here is of the larger white-quartz type, and your feet sink in with every step. The water is gorgeous, although the sea floor drops quickly after just a handful of meters. There are several bars along the beach, with paid toilets, but we did not see any rental facilities.Written September 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ronen H1 contributionOne of the most beautiful and authentic archaeological experiences in Sardinia. The secret? Andrea, the local guide who gave us an unforgettable tour in English. He is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate and he made this tour feel like a personal tour tailored for our unique interests.

- MarthaGioia del Colle, Italy9 contributionsI loved this beach. The water is crystal clear. The number of visitor are limited so to go you have to check a local website that is updated in real time. Search for “Tuerredda prenotazione”. If you get there early, you’ll find a spot on the free beach. If you want a guaranteed spot, you have to reserve one of the Lidi. It’s worth the hassle!Written August 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- NikJAscot, UK988 contributionsParked 1km from the end in an EasyPark bay. Walked the last stretch into capo testa. Used AllTrails for an overview of all the trails around the park.
From the entrance by the cafe, went right and along the coastland path. Went to the far north area to the climb up to the rock.
Nice, though in sept was still v hot so plenty of water required.Written September 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TintinsfreundinKlosterneuburg, Austria1,137 contributionsPerfect beach in perfect nature. I have never ever seen such a beautiful beach before. A pity that it is so popular.

- summafunmumVancouver, Canada124 contributionsA lovely, long, white sandy beach, just a 45min walk (or 15€ taxi) from Alghero harbour-front where our cruise tender dropped us off. Very popular with families as the water is calm and shallow. It was already busy by 10am and wish we had known to book loungers and an umbrella in advance as there were none available along the entire beach. They’d ALL been reserved. Still, we laid out our towels and made the best of it. Plenty of little places to grab a snack or a drink. It felt very local and untouristy.Written August 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
