Just a few kilometres from Calapineta Camping Village lie some of the most beautiful beaches in Sardinia. From the unspoilt, wild beach at Berchida to Capo Comino, famous for its beautiful sand dunes…
THE BEACHES
Capo Comino
Berchida
Biderosa
S. Lucia/La Caletta
Confetti

Capo Comino
Without doubt one of the most stunning beaches in the entire area. Also known as Le Dune “the Dunes” thanks to its spectacular sand dunes, the beach is very close to Calapineta Camping Village and is within easy cycling distance. Its most distinctive feature is the Capo Comino lighthouse, from where visitors may gain an outstanding view of the whole beach.

Berchida
Renowned for its crystal-clear water, extensive shallows and pure white sands. To the rear of the beach visitors can enjoy the sight of authentic Sardinian scenery in all its glory. From the dirt road which links the beach to the state road, visitors may take a detour to see the evocative area of “nuraghe”- ancient Sardinian megalithic edifices.
In this area, visitors have the opportunity to go horse riding along the beach at sunset. An experience not to be missed!

Biderosa
Visitors come upon the beach suddenly after following a dirt track for about 4 km, when Biderosa beach unexpectedly opens up before them framed with juniper, cork and ilex trees. The Oasis of Biderosa is a true haven, one of the very few areas in Sardinia with restricted visitor numbers, with its emerald green waters and fine, pure white sands. A part of this area is the Oasis of Biderosa, five dream-like beaches/oases within a wooded coastal parkland covering 1,086 hectares covered by a spectacular pinewood. The park is protected by the Forestry Commission and is situated along state road SS125. The gates open between May and October and a maximum of 140 cars and 30 motorbikes are admitted per day. All the information on access to the beach is available from: www.oasibiderosa.com

S.Lucia / La Caletta
This thin stretch of sand links the two residential areas. Close to S. Lucia is the base from where the sailing courses are run, offered by Calapineta/Amfibietreks. It is within easy walking distance from Calapineta Camping Village, following a dirt track which runs along the coast and takes about 20 minutes to walk.

La Spiaggia dei Confetti
This is the beach situated right in front of the campsite. It is not sandy but covered in tiny pebbles, and these have given the beach its name.
It is possible to moor boats here, although the campsite does not provide any supervision of these, nor does it offer either mobile or fixed docking facilities.
Posada
Not far from Calapineta and the residential area of Posada is a long stretch of cream-coloured sand. The beach at Posada was nominated Best Beach in Italy in 2013 and was awarded 5 sails by Legambiente (Italian League for the Environment) and the Touring Club.
The most distinctive feature of the beach is the vast, sweeping landscape of extraordinary beauty which surrounds it.
It is reached along an unsignposted road immediately beneath the rock fortress.

La cinta
Undoubtedly one of the most famous beaches on the entire island, spanning more than 10 km and renowned for its breath-taking scenery. In front of the beach lies the majestic island of Tavolara and the smaller Molara where ruins of a medieval castle are found.
An absolute must, though it’s best to go early morning midweek.
