Piscinas on the Costa Verde is a stunning "desert beach" with vast sand dunes and wild, untouched nature in western Sardinia.
Location
Piscinas is a magical place on the Costa Verde in western Sardinia, often referred to as a "desert beach." Here you will find golden sand dunes, among the highest in Europe, reaching up to 60 meters in height. These dunes are a unique natural phenomenon, created by the wind carrying sand from the interior to the coast.
