Few places in the world can boast such a high number of paradisiacal beaches, scattered on a coast of about 35 km, that we can easily list among the most beautiful in the world.
Below a brief description of the main and best-known beaches:

  • La Cinta beach
    It is the best-known and most popular beach in San Teodoro, which we can define as the city beach due to its proximity to the town. It can be easily reached by car, motorbike, bicycle, and even on foot after a few minutes walk north of the town.
    The beach is about five kilometres long and has the shape of an arch. It is made of very white and soft sand, which winds between the crystalline sea and the brackish lagoon behind it, ideal for relaxing walks on the shore. The small sand dunes, which make up the beach, gently degrade into the turquoise water, merging with the shallow seabed, beloved by families with small children, as well as by sea and nature lovers.

    La Cinta is located in front of the Marine area of Punta Coda Cavallo and the island of Tavolara and borders to the west with the San Teodoro lagoon. This unique ecosystem rich in biodiversity is frequented by birdwatchers from all over the world, who visit San Teodoro to photograph different species of the local birdlife. Above all, the wonderful pink flamingos stand out, which can be seen close to the sand dunes, that smell of helichrysum, juniper and sea lilies.
    The beach is equipped with all services: car parks, info points, beach and sports equipment rental, sailing and kite-surfing schools, kiosks and refreshment points.
    The visit of La Cinta is an unmissable stop for those staying in the area.

  • The beach of Puntaldìa
    Puntaldìa beach is set in a cove overlooking the majestic island of Tavolara and constitutes the northern continuation of La Cinta. The two beaches are in fact separated by the mouth of the San Teodoro Lagoon. The location of the beach shelters it from the strong winds that blow from the north and the northwest, and is, therefore, suitable for children, also thanks to the crystal clear and shallow water, the smooth rocks and the fine sand. The beach is also popular with various water sports enthusiasts - such as kites and windsurf - who find the ideal marine weather conditions just outside the bay.

    The beach is located south of the Marina of Puntaldìa, an ideal area for San Teodoro villa rentals.
    There are also exclusive resorts and golf courses. The area is equipped with all the services, refreshment points and various clubs where you can spend pleasant evenings.

  • Cala Brandinchi
    We have already written several articles about this beautiful beach, placing it in our top 5 Sardinian beaches ranking. A real Eden, not surprisingly nicknamed "little Tahiti", which we will always boast about.

    Located in front of the protected marine area of Tavolara, the imposing limestone island whose silhouette dominates the landscape, Cala Brandinchi borders a maritime stretch of great biological interest and dazzling beauty. The sand is white and soft and gives the sea its characteristic turquoise colour with cobalt reflections, and crystalline transparency. Clean waters, which invites you to dive. The beach slopes gently into the sea, with a very shallow seabed for tens of meters, ideal for families with children.
    Nearby there is a pine forest, with refreshment points and parking.
    From the car park, in addition to Cala Brandinchi, you can access the Lu Impostu beach, part of the same ecosystem.
    Further back we find the Brandinchi pond, very popular with biologists and birdwatchers, home to various species of aquatic birds, such as flamingos and herons.

  • Lu Impostu beach
    Lu Impostu is considered the twin beach of Brandinchi, it is a little less known than its sister but just as beautiful!
    The beach is about one kilometre long and quite wide. There are white dunes of fine and soft sand, covered with Mediterranean scrub. The crystalline sea reflects shades of blue and emerald green. The seabed is sandy and shallow, thus suitable even for children.
    There are all main services, such as refreshment points, boat and beach equipment rental. In addition, it is accessible to people with disabilities, and the large parking area in front of the beach is also suitable for campers.

    All the pearls of San Teodoro are very close: to the south of Lu Impostu, we find Puntaldìa, to the north Cala Brandinchi, while to the northeast stands the peninsula of Capo Coda Cavallo. Beyond it, a little further north, the horizon is once again dominated by the imposing silhouette of Tavolara. To the west extends the second largest pond of San Teodoro, in an area rich in marsh vegetation and Mediterranean scrub. Further south, on the border of the San Teodoro area, the Isuledda beach stands out.

  • Capo Coda Cavallo
    Capo Coda Cavallo is a granite promontory that slopes down to the maritime stretch in front of the islands of Tavolara and Molara and the islet of Proratora. The peninsula has numerous sandy coves and cliffs covered with aromatic Mediterranean scrub. The Coda Cavallo beach has a peculiar shape, behind which lies the etymology of the name of the promontory.
    The land strip and the islands make up a protected area of about 15,000 hectares of crystal-clear waters and wonderful coves, which goes from Capo Ceraso to Punta s'Isuledda. It is a very popular location for those who practice snorkelling and diving: one of the most beautiful spectacles in the Mediterranean Sea, with white sandy beaches, protected inlets, uninhabited islands, lagoons rich in flora and fauna... and infinite shades of colours that will make you fall hopelessly in love with this area.

    Within such a beautiful naturalistic context, there are many exclusive villas with pool to rent in Sardinia, often in a strategic position and with an amazing sea view.

  • Isuedda beach
    The beach extends for about 500 meters and is located in the southern part of the territory of San Teodoro, on the southern border of the marine protected area of Tavolara, which can be seen in the distance. Furthermore, from the beach, you can admire the promontory of Capo Coda Cavallo and Puntaldìa.
    The sand is white and soft, while the sea has shades ranging from blue to turquoise and incredible transparency. The shallow water seems to have been made especially for children.
    The Mediterranean scrub surrounds the beach with its intense scents and colours. Furthermore, in the vicinity of the bay, there are several land lots with olive trees and fruit trees.
    Even this beach has a small lagoon behind it, where it is possible to admire colourful birdlife.
    There are ample parking and refreshment points. It is possible to rent beach and sports equipment. The beach is also popular with water sports enthusiasts.
