About the beach
Portu Sa Ruxi, within Villasimius (the province of Cagliari, Sardinia), is a sandy beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The beach faces south (163°). It is most sheltered when the Tramontane (N) or Mistral (NW) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Ostro (S) or Sirocco (SE) 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).
