Beach description
Cala Sinzias - Long, flat dream beach in Sardinia
Cala Sinzias is a family-friendly, idyllic beach that stretches 3 kilometres along the south-east coast of Sardinia. Its light, fine sand meets the sea on a beautifully flat plain, making it ideal for small children. From areas with lounger hire to quieter corners, everyone will find their perfect spot here. Cala Sinzias has a range of attractive bars and restaurants – those who like quieter surroundings and aren’t fussed about hiring a lounger should head to the south end to the bar Lido Tamatete. At the north end, Sant’Elmo awaits with an equally picturesque beach. Cala Sinzias is easy to reach by car. Various public car parks are available (subject to a charge) along the SP18, from which the beaches can be reached by following little trails through maquis shrubland. The bus lines 101 and 135 both run almost to the beach.More dream beaches near Cala Sinzias:

Beaches in detail
Campus - Villasimius
Beautiful, broad, sandy beach with deep water just before the town of Villasimius if you are coming from Cagliari.
Campulongu - Villasimius
This narrow sand beach has fine sand and is located opposite the yacht harbour. It is a famous surfing spot, and the sun sets in the west making for fantastic sunsets.
Porto Giunco - Villasimius
The Cala Giunco beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Sardinia: crystal-clear water and white Caribbean-like sand. Drive towards the harbour and turn left. When you see the lake, keep slightly to the right.
Punta Molentis - Villasimius
Small, splendid bathing bay with water as clear as glass and a dazzling white sand beach. Take the coastal road from Costa Rei to Villasimius. After about 16 km, in the middle of a left turn, turn right on a gravel road and go under the road. After another 1.3 km you reach the beach.
Cala Sinzias - by Sant'Elmo und Li Conchi
Cala Sinzias is situated between Villasimius and Costa Rei. Framed by high mountains, gnarled trees and macchia which reaches as far as the beach. The heavenly water has been recognized by the Goletta Verde as the cleanest of the Mediterranean Sea. Outside the high season, the bay is an oasis of silence. In the summer there are the beach bars Tamatete and Maklas (see Beach Bars).
Cala Pira - road after Villasimius
Small bathing bay close to the road that goes from Costa Rei to Villasimius (SP 18) at about km 11, opposite the island of Serpentara. The sand is white and the water shallow.
Costa Rei
The Costa Rei beach is about 8 km long and is characterized by its fine white to yellow sand and crystalline water. Worth mentioning is the characteristic granite rock Scoglio di Peppino. The Costa Rei beach was voted the fifth most beautiful in the world in the Lonely Planet.
Sant'Elmo
A lovely section of beach in front of a resort with the same name is composed of rock formations and small sandy bays. It is protected by the Monte Turno hill to the south, which gives its name to the next section of beach.
