Spiaggia di Porto Alabe, Coastal beach in western Sardinia, Italy.
Porto Alabe is a coastal beach on western Sardinia featuring golden sand and clear waters framed by natural rocky cliffs. The shoreline extends for several hundred meters and offers both shallow and deeper sections suitable for different water activities.
The nearby harbor served historically as a landing point for Roman settlers, Greek travelers, and Moorish invaders across many centuries. These different groups left their marks on the region through successive waves of arrival and settlement.
The name comes from Catalan language and refers to seagulls, reflecting centuries of foreign influences that shaped this region of Sardinia. Visitors can observe how local fishermen and residents use the beach as a natural gathering place, maintaining traditional Mediterranean habits.
The beach offers parking and dining options nearby, making visits straightforward for most travelers. Sturdy shoes are helpful since access routes cross rocky terrain and the area remains quite exposed to the elements.
From the beach promontories, several hiking trails lead to hidden coves with pink sand accessible via rocky coastal paths. These lesser-discovered sections offer a more secluded alternative to the main beach and reveal the variety of the local shoreline.
