Spiaggia di Cala Regina, Coastal beach in Terramala, Quartu Sant'Elena, Italy.
Description
Spiaggia di Cala Regina is a beach on the southeastern coast of Sardinia combining pebbles and golden sand in a natural setting. Rocky cliffs and Mediterranean plants frame the shore, creating a rugged boundary between land and water.
History
A Spanish watchtower once stood on the promontory above the beach, built during the Middle Ages to defend the coast. This structure reflects the period when the shoreline needed protection from maritime threats.
Culture
Local fishermen work these waters using traditional techniques, keeping alive the maritime connection that has always defined the region. You can observe their practices and understand how fishing remains important to the community.
Practical
You can reach the beach by taking Provincial Road 17 from Cagliari toward Flumini di Quartu, with parking available near the shore. The route is straightforward, though parking may fill up during peak season.
Did you know?
The beach remains free of commercial development, keeping its natural character as the seabed transitions from pebbles to sand. This unspoiled quality makes it uncommon along the coast where human infrastructure dominates.
