About the beach
Portu Maga, within Arbus (the province of Medio Campidano, Sardinia), is a sandy beach on the Sea of Sardinia.
The beach faces west (284°). It is most sheltered when the Levante (E) or Sirocco (SE) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Ponente (W) or Mistral (NW) 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).
