Whether it’s for its “pirate’s cove” shape, its scenically desert-like atmosphere, or the presence of the 17th-century Spanish tower of Flumentorgiu, the beach of Torre dei Corsari is the perfect place to sip a good rum while studying a treasure map buried beneath some nearby dune—or, if you prefer, to enjoy a chilled Sardinian beer while working on your crossword puzzle under the umbrella.
It stretches for a striking 1.5 km in length, and is wide enough to fit three Riviera beaches side by side. What makes it a true natural marvel are its massive golden sand dunes, fleeing inland from the sea and blending poetically with the green hills beyond, turning this oasis into a living postcard of incomparable beauty.
But “Torre,” as the locals call it, is not just another seaside spot where you bask in the sun and take a swim—although those simple pleasures here are already sublime. This is a place where you can go beyond relaxation: join epic beach volleyball or soccer matches on the sand, or embrace the action of surfing and windsurfing on mistral-blown days—all against the exotic natural backdrop that makes experiences like these unforgettable.
By all the whales in the sea, let’s be honest: it’s not every day you find yourself on Captain Hook’s or Jack Sparrow’s favorite Sardinian beach. Yet another reason not to miss the chance to visit such a spectacular, one-of-a-kind place.
