About the beach
Portixeddu Accuau, within Sant'Antioco (the province of Sulcis Iglesiente, Sardinia), is a sandy beach on the Sea of Sardinia.
The beach faces east (89°). 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.
Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
