About the beach
Cala Spinosa, within Santa Teresa Gallura (the province of Gallura Nord-Est Sardegna, Sardinia), is a beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The beach faces west (292°). It is most sheltered when the Levante (E) or Sirocco (SE) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Ponente (W) or Mistral (NW) 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.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
