At the heart of this area of coastline lies the large swath of sandy beach at Bosa Marina backed by cafè's, bars, snack bars and restaurants this impressive beach slopes very gently int the crystal clear sea. With the harbour wall protecting on one side of the natural bay this is a great family beach and very safe for children. The sand here is famous on the island as it has very high iron content, which gives it a dark golden colour and also retains the suns heat like you would not believe, in the height of summer it is difficult to bear the heat of the sand on bare feet. In olden times people used to arrive from all over the island to bury themselves in the hot sand as it was thought to help aches and pains. the beach here is well served and you can hire sunbeds, parasols or try your hand at wind surfing, kite surfing or canoing. |

Heading north from Bosa about 5 or 6 kilometers the next beach area is S' abba Druche (sweet water in Sardinian) this is a serviced area where there is a bar restaurant and other facilities, You can enter by car where there is shaded parking and pay a fixed amount for the day. There are two horseshoe bays of golden sand and also a rocky area that is great for snorkeling. |

Continuing North anothe couple of kilometers we arrive at Compultitu a secluded bay of fine golden sand where the sea shows wonderful shades of tourquise and blue. The beach is reached by foot leaving your car on the road above the walk down takes about 5 minutes but the beuty of the bay once there makes it well worth while. |

Further north still brings us to Tentizizos also known as Torre Argentina for the tower that dominates the headland, here there is a bar, restaurant and facilitie for campers and caravans but don't worry it never gets overcrowded. Here again you pay an entrance fee for the day. there is no sandy beach but lots of flat rocks from which you can swim and snorkel. |

Heading south from Bosa the next bay a down the coast is Porto Alabe here there is a village of mainly holiday homes with a couple of bars and restuarants (more in high season) the beach is long and sandy but slopes quite quickly into the sea, fine for adults and older children but you would need to keep an eye on smaller kids. the beach continues into flat rocks with small sandy bays, great for snorkeling. From here it is possible to walk along the cliff tops to two other bays down the coast that are only accessible by foot, in a 4x4 or by boat. |
