Spiaggia della Pelosa, Mediterranean beach in Stintino, Italy
The 300-meter stretch of white sand forms a crescent shape along turquoise waters, bordered by granite formations and Mediterranean vegetation.
The Pelosa Tower, constructed in 1578 on a small islet near the beach, served as a defensive structure against maritime invasions.
The transformation of Stintino from a fishing settlement to a coastal destination reflects the changes in local activities from maritime trades to tourism.
Access to La Pelosa requires advance online reservations at 3.50 euros per person, with a daily limit of 1,500 visitors during peak season.
The beach sits in front of Isola Piana and Asinara Island, creating a natural barrier that maintains calm, shallow waters extending several meters from shore.
