Spiaggia dell'Isola dei Gabbiani, Coastal beach in Santa Teresa Gallura, Italy
Spiaggia dell'Isola dei Gabbiani is a coastal beach in Santa Teresa Gallura featuring a distinctive sandy peninsula with water visible on both sides. The width of the beach varies with the seasons and tides, with fine sand and shallow water used for different activities.
The beach was formed as a peninsula through natural sediment accumulation over many decades. The area served for a long time as a navigation landmark for sailors traveling the northern Sardinian coast.
The name refers to the seagulls that nest here in large numbers and animate the shoreline. These birds are a constant presence for visitors and part of the daily rhythm of the beach.
The beach offers sun loungers, parasols, and water sports equipment for rent, with a restaurant and small shop within walking distance. Visit early in the morning or late afternoon for fewer crowds and the best conditions for your activities.
The beach becomes a top destination for windsurfers and kitesurfers between June and September when northern winds create special water conditions. These seasonal conditions make it popular with water sports enthusiasts from across Europe.
