Spiaggia di Sa Mesa Longa, Beach in San Vero Milis, Italy.
Sa Mesa Longa is a beach on Sardinia's western coast near San Vero Milis that stretches for a considerable distance along the shoreline. The sand is amber-colored and mixed with shell fragments, while dark rocks break up the beach into distinct sections.
The name Sa Mesa Longa comes from the Sardinian language and refers to a natural flat rock formation that extends into the sea. This naming reflects the local community's connection to distinctive coastal features.
The beach sits within the Sinis Peninsula marine protected area, representing a vital part of Sardinia's coastal preservation and environmental conservation efforts.
The beach has paid parking facilities and refreshment kiosks along the shoreline. The shallow water with gentle slopes makes it comfortable for swimming and wading for all skill levels.
A natural sandbar located meters from the shore creates a lagoon effect and shields the waters from rough seas. This formation makes the water in certain areas particularly calm and clear.
