Ideal starting point for Gravel and mountain bike rides (many paths that bypass the paved roads) to do the coastal path from Putzu Idu to Capo San Marco

A thin, curved strip of very fine quartz grains, almost two kilometres long, separates the turquoise sea from the Sa Salina Manna pond. It is the splendid beach of Putzu Idu, called ‘cala Saline’ and sheltered from the mistral, which extends north of the magnificent s’Arena Scoada and reaches the beach of Mandriola. The quartz sand is white and soft. The waters offer, with the changing light, suggestive shades from green to blue. The sandy seabed is shallow for dozens of metres.

The archaeological area of Tharros represents one of the most precious testimonies of ancient Sardinian history. Among the necropolises and Nuragic, Phoenician and Punic remains, the tower of San Giovanni stands out. This coastal tower, built between the 16th and 17th centuries, was built to defend the coast from the incursions of pirates and Barbary corsairs.
