Spiaggia dei Sassi, Coastal beach at Punta Volpe in Porto Rotondo, Sardinia.
Spiaggia dei Sassi is a beach at Punta Volpe in Porto Rotondo with golden sand mixed with natural rock formations that shape the shoreline. The location combines open swimming areas with reefs and rocky sections, creating a varied landscape where land meets the Mediterranean.
The rock formations and coves took shape over long geological periods and have shaped the activities of those who depend on these waters. This natural layout made the area favorable for maritime work and fishing from very early periods onward.
Local fishermen work the shore regularly, keeping alive practices that have been part of Sardinian coastal life for generations. Their presence shapes the character of the place and shows how communities have always relied on these waters.
The beach has both free access areas and a managed section with rentable umbrellas, sun beds, and food services. This arrangement lets visitors choose between a natural environment or more comfortable facilities depending on their preference.
The golden color of the sand shifts with the sun's angle and reflects light differently, giving the beach a changing appearance throughout the day. This interplay of light on the sand is a subtle detail that reveals itself to those who linger and observe closely.
