The city beaches stretch along the 5 km of white sandy coastline that connects Alghero with the resort of Fertilia. The beaches of San Giovanni, Lido Novelli, and Maria Pia are easily accessible on foot or by bicycle and, thanks in part to their shallow waters, are particularly suitable for families with young children. Particularly fascinating is Maria Pia beach with its white sand dunes and centuries-old junipers.

Surrounded by a lush Pineta forest, it is popular for its fine, white sand and turquoise-colored sea. On the beach you will find equipped spaces for relaxation , sports and entertainment. If you prefer some peace and quiet, you can seclude yourself in one of the creeks and reefs in the area.

The Lazzaretto Tower, an ancient Spanish watchtower, dominates the inlet and spectacular coves set in the green Mediterranean scrub. The fine, white sandy beach is surrounded by coves with crystal clear water and sheltered from the wind.

One of the most characteristic and wildest of the Coral Riviera, Porto Ferro beach is bordered by three Spanish watchtowers. The beach is characterized by the tending red color of the sand and dense Mediterranean scrub from which paths lead to Lake Baratz, Sardinia’s only natural lake. This beach is especially popular with surfers.

Moving south along the Alghero-Bosa coast road one reaches, in the locality of Poglina, the beach of La Speranza characterized by pebbles and amber-colored sand. The shoreline lends itself to quiet days of relaxation and, on windswept days, to surfing and windsurfing enthusiasts.
