Spiaggia di Rena Bianca

Rena Bianca is a beach on the northeastern coast of Sardinia stretching about 700 meters with fine white sand that sometimes shows pink reflections from coral fragments. The shoreline has a gentle slope into the water and is framed by rocky formations at the edges, creating a natural and sheltered cove.

The area was shaped in the 16th century by the construction of the Longonsardo Tower, a fortification built to defend against pirates and sea attacks. This tower marks the longer story of the coast as a strategic location for protecting residents.

The name Rena Bianca comes from the Sardinian language and means white sand, reflecting local heritage through this geographic name. You can experience here how nature and community identity connect through the simple, direct words people use for the places around them.

The water is safe for swimming and you can rent umbrellas, boats, and water sports equipment along the beach. The facilities are accessible for visitors with reduced mobility, and the sand is easy to reach on foot.

On clear days you can spot the white limestone cliffs of Corsica rising across the water, offering a dramatic sight from the shoreline. This view connects two major Mediterranean islands and reminds visitors of how close they really are despite the sea between them.
