Rena di Ponente, on the strip of land that connects Santa Teresa Gallura to Capo Testa, is a median but popular beach for its fine white sand and clear sea with surprising turquoise and emerald hues. The water is shallow and slopes gently for many meters, ideal for families with children or those who wish to relax in total safety.
The sea is warm and fantastic, especially on days when the wind blows from the west or mistral, making the water calm and perfect to enjoy without waves. Despite being long, the beach can get crowded during the summer because of its beauty and ease of access. It is well connected to the road and offers very convenient paid parking.
In some places the presence of outcropping rocks makes it difficult to set up umbrellas or beach chairs, but the sea view is spectacular and also invites diving on rocky bottoms. The beach is not huge and the influx can be high, so early arrival is recommended to find a good spot.
Rena di Ponente has often been awarded Blue Flag status due to its transparent waters and environmental quality, an element that makes the snorkeling experience a real spectacle. The sandy, sloping seabed ensures comfort even for those who do not like instantly deep water.
Rena di Ponente is perfect for those seeking a beach with beautiful sea, fine sand and safe waters, with essential services and dreamy views. Simple preparation and choosing the right times can turn a crowded visit into a relaxing and authentic time.
