Countless places around the world would love to have a beach right inside their town center, which is precisely why Palau is one of the most envied villages in the history of envied villages.
Palau Vecchio Beach (Spiaggia di Palau Vecchio) sits just steps from the harbor, featuring a stretch of soft, golden sand washed by crystal-clear waters ranging from emerald green to pale turquoise. The true charm of this bay lies in its retro feel, highlighted by the tracks of the historic Trenino Verde (Green Train) running along the coast, shaded by a lush pine grove of maritime pines. This green haven right behind the shoreline offers a cool, pleasant retreat during the hottest hours of the day—perfect for relaxing or enjoying a picnic just meters from the water.
The sandy seabed slopes very gently, creating a calm, safe sheet of water that is ideal for families and anyone looking to swim in complete peace. Its proximity to the town guarantees every comfort, with beach bars, sunbed rentals, and restaurants all within easy reach. Palau Vecchio offers a seamless blend of urban convenience and coastal beauty, serving as the perfect starting point before setting off to explore the stunning La Maddalena Archipelago.
