Spiaggia di Cea, located between Bari Sardo and Tortolì, is considered one of the highlights of Sardinia's east coast. Its fine, white, and almost 'impalpable' sand makes it a paradise for swimmers and sunbathers. The shallow, sandy sea is ideal for families with children and older visitors, as entry into the cool water is particularly gentle. The crystal-clear water invites you to swim and snorkel, revealing a fascinating underwater world.

Spiaggia di Cea is especially known for its two distinctive red porphyry stacks, rising from the turquoise sea. These Faraglioni di Cea not only offer a spectacular sight but can also be explored by snorkeling or kayaking. The surrounding Mediterranean scrub and gentle cliffs on the sides of the beach lend the bay a special atmosphere, making it a place of peace and natural beauty. This 'treasure of Ogliastra' is a must-see for any visitor to Sardinia.
