Costa Rei, frazione of Italy
Costa Rei is a small settlement on the southeastern coast of Sardinia within the municipality of Muravera. The village sits along a wide sandy beach with shallow water and low vegetation surrounding the built-up area.
The settlement developed from the mid-1900s onward as a coastal village after centuries when inland farming areas held importance for the region. Modern tourism beginning in the late 1900s gradually shaped its character as a seaside destination.
The beach is easily accessible and offers plenty of space for swimming and water activities throughout the year. The settlement remains small with limited services nearby, so visitors should plan to shop and dine in larger towns such as Muravera.
The beaches here rank among Sardinia's less visited southeastern coastal stretches and are often overlooked by tourists despite offering the same water quality as popular destinations. This appeals to travelers who seek open space and quieter conditions away from typical crowded areas.
