About the beach
Bau Bau Palau, within Palau (the province of Gallura Nord-Est Sardegna, Sardinia), is a pebble beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The beach faces north (11°). It is most sheltered when the Ostro (S) or Libeccio (SW) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Tramontane (N) or Gregale (NE) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves.
Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
