Spiaggia di Romazzino, Mediterranean beach in Costa Smeralda, Arzachena, Italy.
Spiaggia di Romazzino is a roughly 500-meter-wide stretch of white sand along a southeastern bay, where the water displays shades of blue and green. The beach is divided into free public sections and equipped areas with facilities and parking access.
The Romazzino Hotel was constructed in 1965 when the Costa Smeralda development first began, designed by architects Michele and Giancarlo Busiri Vici. Its opening marked the start of tourism development along this stretch of coast.
The name Romazzino comes from the Gallurese word for rosemary, a plant that has long flourished in the surrounding landscape. This connection to local vegetation is deeply rooted in how the place is named.
Access to the beach is through a parking lot connected by a short dirt path that is easy to walk in ordinary shoes. Arriving in the earlier part of the day helps avoid crowding in the most popular sections.
The area surrounding the beach hosts specialized coastal plants such as Crithmum maritimum, Beta maritima, and Juncus maritimus, which have adapted to salty water and sandy soil. These plants thrive in the harsh coastal environment and shape the natural vegetation of the shoreline.
