Sassi Piatti, also known as Cala dei Sassi Piatti, is a picturesque cove near Cala Girgolu, San Teodoro, renowned for its flat rocks and turquoise waters.
Location
Sassi Piatti is an enchanting small cove on the northeastern coast of Sardinia, not far from San Teodoro. It is distinguished by its unique flat rock formations, resembling large, finely polished stones lying on the shore, which gave the cove its name. The beach itself consists of fine, light sand, creating a delightful contrast with the deep blue and turquoise waters.
This cove is part of the larger coastal stretch around Cala Girgolu and Capo Coda Cavallo, known for its pristine nature and breathtaking marine landscapes. The environment is ideal for snorkeling, as the clear water offers good visibility of the underwater world.
