Is Arutas is one of the most characteristic beaches in Sardinia because the sand is made up of fine and rounded grains of quartz that look like grains of rice. Often battered by strong winds, be careful when swimming also because the sea immediately becomes deep.

Tharros Archaeological Site

Highlight • Historical Site

The archaeological area of Tharros is one of the most significant testimonies of the ancient history of Sardinia. Among the necropolises and Nuragic, Phoenician and Punic remains, the tower of San Giovanni also stands out, a Sardinian coastal tower built between the 16th and 17th centuries to protect against the incursions of Barbary pirates and corsairs.

St. John's Tower

Highlight • Monument

The tower of San Giovanni, so named because it is close to the church of San Giovanni di Sinis, was built between the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th century on the top of the hill (50 meters above sea level) overlooking the archaeological area by Tharros.
