THE PELOSA OF STINTINO. ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACHES OF THE WORLD

The Pelosa of Stintino. One of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

The famous beach of La Pelosa in Stintino lies about 15 kilometers from the pond of Pilo and about 45 minutes from Sassari, and is located in the far north-west of Sardinia, overlooking the Gulf of the Asinara.  It is characterized by fine white sand and turquoise-blue sea and very shallow waters.

There is a second beach a short distance from la Pelosa, called La Pelosetta, where visitors will find a little island that can be reached on foot.  There is an Aragonese tower there called the Tower of the Pelosa, that was built in 1578. Isola Piana, a second island near La Pelosetta, belongs to the municipality of Porto Torres, which hosts a Spanish tower 18 meters high called the Tower of Finanza, built in the sixteenth century and restored in 1931.

In the past, Isola Piana belonged to the Berlinguer family and was used asseasonal pasture land for flocks carried there on fishing boats.  It was sold to the state on the condition that it would be preserved in its natural state.

Recently it was used as a movie set for the film "From Ithaca with Love - The Odyssey" which is a contemporary adaptation of Homer's Odyssey.
