Sas Enas Appara, Beach in Porto Istana, Italy
Sas Enas Appara is a beach in northeastern Sardinia shaped by three small sandy coves that curve along the Mediterranean shoreline. Natural rocky formations border the area and give it its distinctive character.
The beach was documented in Italian coastal mapping during the 1950s when the Navy surveyed the region's natural formations. This cartographic work helped preserve the local coastal geography for future generations.
The name originates from Sardinian language, referring to the rocky outcrops that shape the shoreline. Visitors experience here how locals maintain their connection to the sea and coastal landscape.
Reaching this secluded beach requires a short walk from Porto Istana, and facilities like showers or restaurants are not available here. Visitors should bring their own water, snacks, and sun protection before heading out.
Three separate sandy coves merge into one continuous shoreline, creating an unusual geographical pattern in this location. From here, visitors get unobstructed views of the islands of Tavolara and Piana in the distance.
