Coaquaddus

Coaquaddus is a sand beach located along the southeastern shore of Sant'Antioco island. A large limestone ridge divides the sandy area into smaller coves, creating sheltered spots along the coastline.

Sant'Antioco island holds evidence of ancient settlements, including periods when Phoenician and Roman peoples lived here. Archaeological finds throughout the region document the long human presence on this island.

This beach serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors share the waterfront, especially during weekends and summer evenings. Small beach bars offer simple refreshments and local drinks that reflect the daily rhythm of island life.

Marked pathways lead from the parking area to the sand, and rentals for umbrellas and beach chairs are available during summer. The gentle slope into the water makes entry easy for swimmers and families.

The name refers to 'horse's tail' in the local language, inspired by the curved shoreline that bends along the rocks. This distinctive shape with its inlets is what locals use to identify the spot.
