Su Cannisoni: a quieter beach in the Sarrabus

In the Sarrabus region of south-eastern Sardinia, Su Cannisoni is a beach in the municipality of Castiadas known for pale sand, clear water and a generally relaxed atmosphere. Its location between Costa Rei and Sant’Elmo makes it easy to include in a coastal itinerary.

The natural setting of Su Cannisoni

Granite rocks visually divide Su Cannisoni into northern and southern sections, creating two slightly different beach settings. Fine sand extends between the Villa Rei and Sant’Elmo areas.

Clear, shallow water

The sea is typically transparent, with shallow water near the shore in several sections. Rocky areas add interest for snorkelling when conditions are calm.

Access

The beach is reached from the road between Villasimius and Costa Rei, following local signs towards Sant’Elmo and Villa Rei. Parking and final walking access can vary by season, so check current local information before setting out.

A relaxed coastal stop

Su Cannisoni is a good choice for travellers looking for a quieter beach day close to the better-known resorts of south-eastern Sardinia.
