Activities
Between turquoise waters and a coastline that often evokes Caribbean scenery, the area around Stintino reveals one of Sardinia’s most spectacular beach regions. Just minutes away lie renowned beaches such as La Pelosa, Le Saline, and Lu Forrazzu, celebrated for their fine pale sand, gently sloping sea, and remarkable play of colours. Beach bars and sunbed rentals create the perfect setting for relaxed holiday days, while views stretch out towards the island of Asinara.
Beyond the famous La Pelosa, smaller nearby beaches like La Pelosetta and the sheltered Spiaggia del Gabbiano are equally worth visiting. They are often quieter yet just as captivating, with crystal-clear water and idyllic scenery. The region is ideal for beach lovers, photographers, and anyone seeking Sardinia’s classic postcard landscapes.
A true highlight is an excursion to Asinara, the fascinating island off the northwest coast. It enchants visitors with untouched nature, secluded coves, and its distinctive white donkeys. At the same time, Asinara tells a remarkable story as a former prison island. Boat and catamaran tours offer an immersive way to experience this extraordinary environment. Since 1997, the island and its surrounding waters have been protected as a national park.
The location also opens up rewarding cultural opportunities: a day trip to Alghero with its vibrant old town or to Castelsardo, dramatically perched on a rock above the sea, perfectly complements a beach-focused stay.

Cala Lupo Resort
Stintino
At the most northwestern point of Sardinia, the old fishing village of Stintino lies between two bays on a promontory in the Gulf of Asinara. The romantic natural harbor, the fishermen's houses, boats and fish restaurants give a pretty picture - but Stintino is best known for one thing: the beautiful beach of La Pelosa - is the most beautiful beach in the Mediterranean!
The dream beach attracts with fine sandy beaches, broken by slate rocks and macchia bushes. They are protected from wind and waves by the offshore island and the small, flat Isola Piana and therefore ideal not only for a beach holiday with children. Because of its breathtaking water colors, this dream beach was often used as a backdrop for advertising. Even out of season there is always a lot of crowd - but the beach is so beautiful you just have to see it! It is not without reason that it is one of the main sights of the island. In high season, this natural paradise is limited to preserve the delicate ecosystem of the water and beach landscape.
The Stintino peninsula was largely uninhabited until 150 years ago. Today's very popular resort was established for the fishermen and farmers on Asinara Island. The 45 families had to leave the island paradise when it was transformed into a prison island in 1885. In 1997 the last convict was removed and since 1999 visitors have been able to visit the newly established national park with tour boats from Stintino or visit Porto Torres .
It is only a short walk from the holiday resorts at La Pelosa to the end of the peninsula, the Capo del Falcone. The slate cliffs, plunging steeply into the sea, offer an impressive spectacle of waves and foamy mist on Sardinia's northwestern tip when the sea is rough.
Hardly any travel guide mentions another beach paradise on the Stintino peninsula: Spiaggia Le Saline, located south of the former Stintino tuna factories. The beach with its azure blue water consists of fine pebbles instead of sand and is therefore a great beach destination even when there is a lot of wind.

Discover the north-western province of Sassari
The province of Sassari is a fairly well-known province, due to the presence of the Fertilia Airport near Alghero which draws in many a tourist. Its eponymous capital, whose city centre consists of numerous narrow alleys, has a rich history. Villages such as Alghero, Stintino and the picturesque seaside town Castelsardo are the main highlights in the area, although the capital Sassari, which has been extensively renovated over the past years, is definitely worth a visit too.
