The view is simply stunning, thanks to the contrast of colors between the very white sand and the two extensions of blue, that of the river and the sea. San Pietro beach is a long and wide stretch of soft, golden sand, which extends from the west, from La Ciaccia, to the mouth of the Coghinas river in the east, passing near the small church and settlement of San Pietro a Mare. It's great to swim alternating between the sea and the river.

Magnificent sandy beach overlooking Castelsardo. On one side is the sea, on the other side is the pretty lagoon lake of Coghinas.

The elephant rock is a boulder about 4 meters high with a strong rust color. It is so called because the atmospheric agents have eroded it, giving it the appearance of a seated pachyderm.
