Pittulongu "Lo Squalo", Sand beach in Pittulongu, Italy.
Pittulongu Lo Squalo is a sandy beach along the coast of Olbia featuring fine light gray sand with small rock formations separating it from neighboring beach areas. The shoreline curves gently and offers direct views toward nearby limestone cliffs across the water.
The name Lo Squalo comes from local fishermen who frequently spotted sharks in these waters during the early 20th century. This association shaped how residents understood and related to this part of the coastline.
Residents of Olbia gather at this beach during summer evenings to participate in traditional Sardinian music performances and seaside celebrations.
The beach provides wheelchair access and offers umbrella rentals along with small boat rentals for visitors. Conditions and facilities can vary by season, so checking ahead is helpful before planning your visit.
From the northern end of the beach, visitors can see limestone cliffs rising sharply from the water toward a nearby island. This dramatic backdrop across the sea makes the location particularly noteworthy.
