About the beach
Le Saline, within Stintino (the province of Sassari, Sardinia), is a pebble beach on the Sea of Sardinia.
The beach faces east (71°). It is most sheltered when the Ponente (W) or Libeccio (SW) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Levante (E) 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).
