Marinella, Mediterranean beach in Golfo Aranci, Italy.
Marinella is a beach on northeastern Sardinia's coastline, featuring white sand and turquoise waters that slope gently to create naturally shallow swimming zones. The shore stretches for several hundred meters along this part of the Golfo Aranci.
The beach developed as tourism grew along Costa Smeralda starting in the 1960s. This growth transformed the coastline into a popular recreational destination for visitors.
Local regulations enforce strict protection measures for the beach ecosystem, including substantial fines for removing sand, shells, or stones from the shore.
The beach provides restrooms, waste collection points, and lifeguard services during summer months. Visit during shoulder seasons to enjoy a more relaxed experience with fewer crowds.
Water temperatures remain pleasant from May through October, making extended swimming seasons possible. The surrounding Mediterranean scrub vegetation adds natural interest to the coastal setting.
