Sinis, Natural peninsula in western Sardinia, Italy
Sinis is a peninsula that juts into the Mediterranean, with sandy beaches made of coral material, rocky cliffs of limestone, and shallow water areas that support abundant marine life. The landscape combines these different zones, creating diverse habitats along the coast and inland.
People lived and built here from the Bronze Age through Roman times, leaving behind structures across the peninsula. This continuous settlement reveals a long history of human occupation in this area.
Fishing families who live near the coast continue to use methods passed down through generations, shaping local food traditions and daily rhythms. Their work connects the peninsula's waters to regional dishes and community life.
Walking trails marked throughout the area connect different spots like beaches, old archaeological sites, and protected natural zones. Parking areas are located near the main attractions to help you get started.
The beach of Is Arutas has sand made of pure quartz grains in white, pink, and green colors, formed from ancient rock sources. These colored grains are a result of natural processes working over thousands of years.
