About the beach
In the municipality of Badesi, in the province of Gallura Nord-Est Sardegna (Sardinia), Pirotto is a sandy beach on the Sea of Sardinia.
Orientation: northwest (316°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Sirocco (SE) or Ostro (S), keeps it calm; the Mistral (NW) or Tramontane (N) hits it from the sea and can raise waves.
Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough.
Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
