Spiaggia di Maimoni, Public beach in the Gulf of Oristano, Sardinia.
Description
Maimoni Beach stretches roughly two kilometers along the Sardinian coast, with distinctive white and pink quartz sand that glints in the sun. The seabed slopes gently and remains sandy, making it welcoming for different kinds of visitors.
History
The name comes from an ancient Sardinian and Phoenician water deity, reflecting deep maritime roots in this Mediterranean region. These connections to early Mediterranean cultures remain embedded in the place names you see today.

The nearby San Salvatore church sits above a pre-Christian underground burial chamber, showing how religious traditions took root in this coastal place. Walking along the shore, you can sense this layering of old and new beliefs that shaped the area.
