Portixeddu beach, divided in half by the mouth of the Mannu River, extends for over two kilometers between the rugged cliffs of Sulcis and the Costa Verde, in the Buggerru area. This long stretch of fine, pale sand is surrounded by a pine forest that offers shelter on hot days. The crystal-clear water and transparent seabed invite long, refreshing swims; however, caution is advised, as the currents can be strong. In summer, there are a few kiosks and refreshment stands. From November to May, however, the area once again takes on a secluded and quiet atmosphere, with no services or refreshments available.

In the distance, beyond the first bend, after abandoning the few remaining houses, you can see a church, the church of Sant'Angelo, on which you can see two dates (1734 and 1914), the dates of construction and renovation of the church.

The mountain village of Sant'Angelo was founded with the founding of Fluminimaggiore (of which it is a hamlet) in the early 1700s. It consists of a few houses, scattered throughout a lush surrounding woodland, and charming but abandoned villas. In the second half of the 19th century, the village was part of an area (representing the largest agricultural and pastoral estate in Sardinia) known as "Sa Tanca de Modigliani." The associated mining activity brought Emanuele and Flaminio Modigliani (grandfather and father, respectively, of the artist Amedeo Modigliani) to the area, making it plausible that Amedeo frequented it.
