About the beach
Cala del Turco, within Porto Torres (the province of Sassari, Sardinia), is a sandy beach on the Sea of Sardinia.
The beach faces east (92°). It is most sheltered when the Ponente (W) or Mistral (NW) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Levante (E) or Sirocco (SE) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough. The seabed type is inferred from nearby beaches mapped on OpenStreetMap.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
