Portoscuso, Coastal municipality in southwestern Sardinia, Italy.

Located at 6 meters above sea level, Portoscuso extends across 39 square kilometers of Mediterranean coastline with natural bays and protected harbors.

The settlement traces back to the Neolithic period, with significant Bronze Age remains including Nuraghe ruins and the rock shelter of Punta Niedda.

The annual Feast of Saint Mary brings together residents and visitors for traditional processions, local music performances, and regional culinary specialties.

The town maintains regular maritime connections through its port, offering transportation services to neighboring coastal settlements and the island of San Pietro.

The Torre di Portoscuso, constructed in the 16th century, stands as one of the best-preserved coastal defense towers in Sardinia.
