Spiaggia di Mare morto, Mediterranean beach in Sardinia, Italy
Description
Spiaggia di Mare Morto is a beach on Sardinia's coast featuring soft golden sand and clear Mediterranean waters. The shoreline stretches naturally with a gently sloping seabed suitable for swimming.
History
The name Mare Morto means Dead Sea in Italian, originating from ancient maritime times when sailors noticed the remarkably calm waters here. This characteristic made it a notable reference point for navigation.
Culture
Local fishing boats are a common sight here, with fishermen using traditional methods that have remained largely unchanged over many decades. This working presence shapes the character and daily rhythm of the place.
Practical
You can reach the beach by following a marked path from the main road, with parking available nearby. The terrain can be uneven in places, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended.
Did you know?
Natural limestone pools form along the shoreline during low tide, creating separate swimming areas with their own character. These tide-dependent features shift the landscape regularly throughout the day.
