About the beach
In the municipality of Alghero, in the province of Sassari (Sardinia), Caletta del Turco is a sandy beach on the Sea of Sardinia.
Orientation: west (280°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Levante (E) or Sirocco (SE), keeps it calm; the Ponente (W) or Mistral (NW) hits it from the sea and can raise waves.
Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough.
