Putzu Idu
Riola Sardo
Putzu Idu is a sandy beach on Sardinia's west coast, known for fine sand and calm waters, sheltered from winds.
Location
Putzu Idu beach, also known as 'Cala Saline', is located on Sardinia's west coast and offers an idyllic swimming opportunity. It is characterized by its very fine, white sand and calm, often turquoise-blue waters. The surrounding vegetation consists mainly of Mediterranean scrub, which gives the beach a natural and unspoiled atmosphere.
Putzu Idu is particularly attractive because it is well sheltered from the north-westerly Mistral wind, making it an ideal place for relaxing days by the sea. The shallow water is also suitable for families.
Despite its beauty, Putzu Idu is a spacious, free beach. While umbrellas and sunbeds can be rented, the infrastructure is rather basic. Visitors should be prepared for the absence of facilities such as showers, toilets, or bins and come prepared to help preserve the natural character of the beach.
