Monti Russu is a sandy beach in the municipality of Aglientu, in the province of Gallura Nord-Est Sardegna (Sardinia), on the Sea of Sardinia.
Facing northwest (305°), it is sheltered with the Sirocco (SE) or Levante (E); with the Mistral (NW) or Ponente (W), which comes from the sea, it gets rougher. 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.
In the latest European EEA classification (2025 season) the bathing water is rated excellent.
