Sardinia, Italy

La Pelosa

At Sardinia's north-western tip, La Pelosa does a convincing Caribbean impression: white sand, an old Spanish watchtower offshore and water that stays thigh-deep for what feels like miles.

About this place

It is so beloved the beach now runs on summer pre-booking — reserve your slot online the evening before, and bring a mat, since towels straight on the sand are banned to protect it. June and September offer the same shallows minus the choreography.
