Spiaggia di Guidi, Sandy beach in Carloforte, Italy.
Spiaggia di Guidi is a sandy beach in Carloforte on San Pietro Island, where clear waters invite swimmers and views open toward surrounding Sardinian islands. The shoreline slopes gently into the bay and connects easily to the town through coastal paths.
San Pietro Island was settled in the 18th century by Ligurian fishing families who founded Carloforte and built a thriving trading community. This maritime past continues to shape daily life and the town's character.
The beach area reflects the local maritime traditions through regular fishing activities and seasonal celebrations that connect residents to their Ligurian heritage.
The beach is reachable on foot from Carloforte via coastal paths and works well for summer visits. Bring sun protection since the beach offers little natural shade, and check local conditions before entering the water.
The area was once renowned for catching giant bluefin tuna, a fishing craft passed down through family boats across generations. Visitors can still spot old fishing vessels and equipment scattered along the shore that document this storied fishery.
