Rena Bianca Beach in Santa Teresa Gallura, Sardinia

Rena Bianca is the enchanting beach of the charming town of Santa Teresa Gallura, which contributes to the prestige of this splendid Gallurese location overlooking the Strait of Bonifacio. Nestled between the promontory dominated by the 16th-century Aragonese tower of Longosardo and the small islets of Municca and Munichedda—which can even be reached on foot at low tide—it stretches for about 700 meters, taking on a characteristic crescent shape. Even from a distance, you can admire this extraordinary stretch of fine sand, characterized by a pristine white color that blends into delicate pink shades along the shoreline, thanks to tiny fragments of coral peeking through the sand. The beach is gently lapped by crystal-clear waters with incredibly vibrant, shifting colors, ranging from turquoise to various shades of green and blue. Its sandy seabed remains shallow for several meters from the shore, making it particularly safe and ideal for children to swim. This beautiful interplay of colors—the white and pink of the sand, the shifting turquoise and blue of the water, and the lush green of the Mediterranean scrub—makes it truly unique. It proudly stands as one of the most beautiful and famous beaches on the island, the brightest gem of Gallura, further enhanced by a stunning view of the imposing white cliffs of Corsica. Located just over 11 miles away, they seem almost within reach on clear days. How to get there: Located right next to the historic center, it is easily reachable on foot. Facilities: disabled access, parking, hotels, bars, eateries, rental of beach umbrellas, sun loungers, pedal boats, and watercraft Did you know?
