Spiaggia di Salina Manna, Sandy beach in Punta Molara, Italy.
Spiaggia di Salina Manna is a sandy beach on the northeast coast of Sardinia with fine sand and gradual entry into the sea. The water is clear and the shoreline extends with a gentle slope suitable for swimmers of all levels.
The name comes from the salt water pond next to it, a natural feature present since ancient times. The lagoon held importance for the civilizations that lived along this stretch of Mediterranean coast.
The beach sits beside a salt water pond that has long been part of the local landscape. Fishermen work these waters using methods that have been handed down through families in the region.
The water stays shallow for a good distance, making it safe for swimming, especially for beginners and children. There are shaded areas from natural vegetation that provide relief on hot days.
From this beach you can see two islands at once - Tavolara and Molara - framing the sea on either side. The salt water pond nearby attracts many bird species that you can spot while visiting.
