The beaches of Lotzorai

Lotzorai is famous for its long sandy beach, which extends for approximately 5 km, from the Tortolì pond in the south to Santa Maria Navarrese in the north. This stretch of coast offers five unique beaches, each with its special charms, all waiting to be explored.

The clear, golden beach is easily accessible from the town centre and is interrupted only by the estuaries of two rivers: the Rio Girasole and the Pramaera. During the summer, when the flow of the rivers decreases, you can travel the entire coastline with a pleasant walk along the beach.

Each stretch of coast has a different name, starting from the south: Isula Manna, Iscrixedda, Marina delle Rose (or Lido delle Rose), Pollu and Tancau. An interesting fact? The outline of Ogliastra Island, which stands out on the horizon, seems to change shape depending on the beach it’s being observed from.

The coastal ecosystem also has some surprises: from the shoreline to the dunes behind it, every kilometre offers small differences which make the walk even more fascinating. Ideal for those who love trekking along the sea and want to discover new spots.
