Tips from the Community
Voted the fifth most beautiful beach in Sardinia and the first in the province of Oristano in 2016 by travelers, Su Pallosu is mainly dedicated to cats. Su Pallosu is one of the pearls that dot Capo Mannu, the extreme northern limit of the Sinis peninsula and the marine protected area in which it is protected. It is part of the territory of San Vero Milis, which is about twenty kilometers away, it is known because behind it there is a cat colony that hosts and takes care of cats and organizes guided tours. The cats, whose presence dates back to the early twentieth century, often venture onto the beach: they are the only ones of this species that are not afraid of bathing.

The lighthouse of Capo San Marco stands majestically on the tip of the Sinis promontory, overlooking the ancient ruins of Tharros. Still in operation, the lighthouse and its surroundings were the setting for the film "A Small Southern Business" by Rocco Papaleo. From this elevated position, the views are enchanting and breathtaking.

Tharros (also Tharras, Tarrae or Tarras) is an ancient city on the west coast of Sardinia, of which only remains remain. It is located 20 km west of Oristano in the province of the same name, on the southern tip of the Sinis peninsula, which is only 100 m wide in places. The name Tharros first appeared on a Roman milestone. Founded by Nuragics, the place was expanded into a city by the Phoenicians and taken over by the Carthaginians and Romans. Between 827 and 1070 AD it was the capital of the Judicate of Arborea. Ibn Jubar (1145–1217) reported as early as 1183 that he had seen a ruined city when his ship sought shelter from a storm on the Sardinian promontory.
