About the beach
Spiaggia de La Punta, within Carloforte (the province of Sulcis Iglesiente, Sardinia), is a beach on the Sea of Sardinia.
The beach faces northeast (33°). It is most sheltered when the Libeccio (SW) or Ostro (S) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Gregale (NE) or Tramontane (N) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
