About the beach
Spiaggia di Talmone, within Palau (the province of Gallura Nord-Est Sardegna, Sardinia), is a sandy beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The beach faces northwest (319°). It is most sheltered when the Sirocco (SE) or Ostro (S) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Mistral (NW) or Tramontane (N) 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).
