Four and a half kilometres from the centre of Bari Sardo on the east coast of Sardinia, this beach is 8 kilometres long and one hundred metres wide. The northern part of the beach, characterised by golden thick-grained sand and demarcated by a scented pine grove at the feet of the basaltic plateau called Teccu, is traditionally called mari de is ominis (the men’s sea). It is separated from the southern part, characterised by thin white sand and small pebbles, called mari de is feminas (the womens' sea).
