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.
Carloforte's residents speak tabarchino, a Ligurian dialect still used in local songs and festivals. The beach lies along the route of the annual Girotonno, a tuna-fishing event held each spring that draws boats and visitors to the island.
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.
Spiaggia di Guidi lies on San Pietro Island, about 500 km southwest of Rome, in the province of Carbonia-Iglesias, Sardinia. The climate is mild: average temperatures run from 8 °C in February to 28 °C in July, with roughly 619 mm of rain a year, heaviest in November.
