Porto Pino

Porto Pino is one of the best-known coastal landscapes in the Sulcis area. Long beaches, pale dunes, pine woods and wetlands form a natural system in front of the seaside settlement of Sant’Anna Arresi.

The coastline is made up of several sandy sections along a low-lying shore. Its size lets visitors choose between areas close to services and more natural stretches.

A large system of very pale dunes develops along the southern section. These are fragile habitats and should only be viewed and crossed using authorised access routes.

Pine trees and lagoons behind the coast attract many bird species, making Porto Pino interesting beyond the beach itself.

The beach is exposed to south-westerly winds. Sea conditions should always be assessed, especially on windier days.

Porto Pino is a main stop and deserves at least half a day. It can be combined with Sant’Anna Arresi and Santadi without adding too many other beaches to the same day.
