Spiaggia di Is Solinas, Sand beach in Masainas, Sardinia, Italy.
Spiaggia di Is Solinas is a sand beach in Masainas with light-colored fine sand and clear green water, with Sant'Antioco island visible across the gulf. The broad shoreline extends over considerable length and is shaped by a nearby lagoon system that creates sand dunes and sheltered waters.
The beach formed naturally through sand accumulation and was shaped by the nearby Porto Botte lagoon system, which has long been a protected space for marine life. This geological structure has defined the area over time and created what we see today.
The village and surrounding beaches remain tied to fishing traditions that have shaped local life for generations. You can see fishermen mending nets and preparing boats along the shore, giving you a direct sense of these ongoing practices.
Water is shallow in most areas and extends far out, with gentle waves making it accessible for different age groups. The beach is easy to reach and offers open spaces to relax, though conditions can vary by season.
In the cooler months from October to May, strong winds attract many kite surfers who transform the coast into an energetic water-sports destination. This seasonal shift makes the beach two completely different places depending on when you visit.
