Spiaggia Punta le Saline
Palau
Punta Saline in Olbia features several small coves with fine sand and clear waters, ideal for tranquility and direct sea access.
Location
Spiaggia Punta Saline, located near Olbia, is a charming collection of three small coves characterized by fine, light sand and lush Mediterranean scrub. Although some areas may feature coarse, ochre-colored sand, the beaches invite relaxation.
The sea at Punta Saline is known for its clear waters, which often deepen within a few steps from the shore, making it an interesting spot for swimmers. Even if there are stones in the water in places, the overall charm of the coves remains.
