Greyed rows are beaches we know are capped but whose details we have not yet confirmed at the official source. Rules are set every year by council resolutions and municipal ordinances: always check before you travel.
Free-access beaches
No ticket, no booking. The limit is the car park, and in high season it fills early.
ArzachenaCapriccioliTwo coves facing opposite ways, split by a headland of granite and juniper, in the heart of the Costa Smeralda. Whatever the wind, one side is always sheltered.

Domus de MariaSu GiudeuWhite sand and dunes with centuries-old junipers in the Chia system, facing an islet you can walk to at low tide. One of the best-preserved stretches in the south.
Find out more- SiniscolaBerchida
Kilometres of white sand broken by red rocks and a stream that reaches the sea through the dunes, pine forest behind. Wide enough never to feel crowded.
