About the beach
Caletta Villa Wanda, within Alghero (the province of Sassari, Sardinia), is a sandy beach on the Sea of Sardinia.
The beach faces southwest (233°). It is most sheltered when the Gregale (NE) or Levante (E) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Libeccio (SW) or Ponente (W) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves.
Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough.
