About the beach

In the municipality of Quartu Sant'Elena, in the province of Cagliari (Sardinia), Spiaggia di Mari Pintau is a pebble beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Orientation: southwest (217°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Gregale (NE) or Tramontane (N), keeps it calm; the Libeccio (SW) or Ostro (S) hits it from the sea and can raise waves.

Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable.

Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
