Tancau marks the meeting point between the Lotzorai coast and the center of Santa Maria Navarrese, sitting right after the stretch of Pollu.
Its main highlight lies in the immediate contrast between the sea and the inland landscape. Just a few meters from the water, a dense pine forest unfolds, making it easy to find real shade during the hottest hours of the day without moving away from the shoreline. The seabed is neither shallow nor gradual, as the water becomes deep just a few steps from the shore, which makes this stretch ideal for those who want to swim right away without a long walk out.
From the beach, your gaze moves straight to the Isolotto d'Ogliastra and the rock formations rising toward the tower of Santa Maria Navarrese. The sandy shore is very spacious and never suffers from overcrowding, guaranteeing plenty of room even during peak months.
Essential services and convenient parking near the pine forest make it a practical choice, perfect for anyone looking for an easy, accessible beach without the typical crowds of smaller coves.
