Stintino, La Pelosa: Italian Beaches Not to Be Missed.

Shallow, translucent seas slowly lap the long curve of ivory-coloured sand that makes up La Pelosa beach. This secluded Sardinian retreat lies just around the corner from the small village of Stintino, at Capo Falcone. At 300 metres long, La Pelosa could compete with some of the beautiful beaches of the Caribbean. The beach is a very fashionable spot for local families and groups of friends to spend days together, creating a fun and welcoming atmosphere.

A 16th-century watchtower, the Torre della Pelosa - which was used to defend the island - stands on rocks that jut out towards the sea.

Popular among divers, the sunlit tower is an iconic landmark along this part of the coast. Be sure to get here early in the morning during the summer - this place is so beautiful that it can understandably get very crowded.
