Spiaggia di Marina di Capitana, Mediterranean beach in Quartu Sant'Elena, Italy.
Marina di Capitana is a Mediterranean beach on Sardinia's southern coast featuring white sand and clear blue water. The shoreline curves gently and is framed by a marina on one side and natural rocky features that create the sheltered bay.
The settlement began as a simple fishing village and gradually transformed into a modern coastal destination. Its maritime roots remain woven into the character of the place despite contemporary development.
The fishing heritage remains visible in daily activities, with boats and nets scattered along the shore. Local restaurants source seafood directly from the morning catches, connecting visitors to traditional maritime practices.
The beach provides changing facilities, umbrella rentals, and lifeguard supervision throughout the swimming season. Parking is readily available near the shore, and several restaurants are within easy walking distance for meals or refreshments.
The bay's natural shape provides natural wind protection, making it ideal for swimming throughout the summer months. This sheltered condition has made it a preferred choice for families and less experienced swimmers who prefer calm water.
