About the beach
In the municipality of La Maddalena, in the province of Gallura Nord-Est Sardegna (Sardinia), Spiaggia di Santa Maria is a sandy beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Orientation: south (164°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Tramontane (N) or Mistral (NW), keeps it calm; the Ostro (S) or Sirocco (SE) hits it from the sea and can raise waves. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough.
