Spiaggia di Mari Pintau

Mari Pintau is a gorgeous little crescent cove on Sardinia's southwestern coast, tucked along the scenic road between Cagliari and Villasimius — anchor off and you'll find a mix of pebbles and sand with exceptionally clear, shallow water that's brilliant for snorkeling. The beach has a bar-restaurant and equipment rental on shore, so you can easily spend a full day here without needing much from the boat.
