Rena di ponente
Santa Teresa Gallura
Spiaggia Rena di Ponente is a long, white sand beach between Santa Teresa Gallura and Capo Testa, known for its crystal-clear, shallow waters.
Location
Spiaggia Rena di Ponente, also known simply as Rena di Ponente, is situated on the narrow strip of land connecting Santa Teresa Gallura to the picturesque Capo Testa. This beach captivates with its incredibly fine, white sand and the azure sea, whose colors appear almost surreal. The water remains very shallow for a considerable distance, making it particularly appealing for families with children.
Being long and narrow, the beach shares the isthmus with Rena di Levante on the opposite side, giving it a unique location. The excellent water quality is regularly awarded the Blue Flag, testifying to the beautiful and clean marine environment.
Although it can be crowded during peak season, especially in August, its size still provides ample space. The backdrop featuring Capo Testa and its impressive rock formations makes the visit an unforgettable experience. It's a perfect spot for relaxing, swimming, and enjoying the Sardinian sun.
