Maria Pia
Clear water and white sand dunes; these are the main features of Maria Pia, the long coastline that
separates from Alghero from Fertilia.
For Alghero inhabitants anyway, especially the homonymous pine forest that s important, first because it is used as a real training camp, where to test your breath and strengthen the muscles. But also because it is now comparable to a very large urban park, where families with children spend their time.
In the summer, then It becomes a giant open-air restaurant, with open restaurants on the beach and it is nice to make a walk on the beach and surrounding forest to digest.
The depths of the Maria Pia sea are almost all sandy, with water levels reaching two meters of depth only after few minutes walk out to sea. This makes this area particularly suitable for children, who can remain safely in the water even at 5 or 9 meters away from the line of foreshore.
The beach is peculiar in the sense that you can enjoy the beach even when standing 50 meters from the sea or, if you
Optionally, if you wish, you can bask in the sun, surrounded by pine trees not even see the water and away from wind.
The dunes, with the hosted vegetation, create a light plays and light and shade effects, especially in low season, when the poor attendance of the beach allows the wind to mold the sand to its liking.
The most remarkable effects of this activity can be observed where nothing stops the movement of the sand, close to the large juniper bushes blocks that rise lone.
If we are allowed to give you a hint, please visit Maria Pia in the Summer but in the early morning, with no crowd, the sun behind your shoulders while watching the water, you will see breath taking extraordinary light contrasts. You will feel like you are entering a new dimension.
Porto ferro
is a bay surrounded by a vaguely wild environment and this contributes to the charm of the place, rather it is the main ingredient.
The beach is very wide and reddish color, the sand is thin, and it's characterized by a light wind.
A friend once told the she felt like Porto Ferro beach was immersed in the sixties. I think she was right. I think the imagination need to work too much to understand the why of this feeling, you just need to look around.
The bay is enclosed between two towers, Torre Negra to the North and Torre de Bantine to the south.
From the inside of the bay you can see a third tower, the White Tower,. These are all Spanish buildings from the seventeenth century.
In summer this bay is a docile and calm.
Currents and wind and high and long waves characterize it in Spring and Autumn , and here it is Porto Ferro populated by surfers who find here the most ideal conditions.
Some campers parked in front of the sea, bathers united by the desire to seek a beach outside the normal tour standards, wild and subtly retro tasting, the dark and warm colours of the sand and the sea, the turbulentand "spiteful" waters, Porto ferro seems to be resisting to be tame, resistant to the massive tourism yet, that's why it seems to belong to another time, and we want it to remain as it is.
