Spiaggia di Maimoni, Public beach in the Gulf of Oristano, Sardinia.
Maimoni Beach is a broad stretch of pale golden sand on the Gulf of Oristano in Cabras, Sardinia. A thin wash of clear water and white foam crosses the wet, darker tan sand at the lower edge, and the shallow water turns from translucent turquoise near shore to darker green-blue further out, with a strip of white surf where sand meets sea.
The sources document no ancient deity or Phoenician origin for the name; they record only the beach's setting in the Province of Oristano, Sardinia, about 400 km southwest of Rome. The area has a mild climate averaging 16 °C, with July means near 25 °C and February lows around 6 °C, and roughly 700 mm of rain a year, heaviest in November.
The beach takes its name from Maimone, a water and spring deity of pre-Roman Sardinian religion, still honoured in local festivals. In the nearby village of San Salvatore, the church of the same name stands over a pre-Christian underground burial chamber, and the feast of Santu Sarbadore is held there each September.
A spacious parking area makes access easy, with restaurants, beach equipment rentals, and refreshment stands nearby. The gentle slope and open layout help you settle in comfortably for the day.
