Saline Tower – Fortress and beach

About six kilometers away from the town is an imposing promontory that overlooks the sea, providing breathtaking views that span the entire surrounding coastline. This promontory is home to the striking Torre delle Saline, an ancient fortress that presents an extraordinary feature from the first glance: it is the only one among the towers of Sardinia’s coastal defense system to have a square-shaped plan. Heading north, at the foot of the tower, lies the beach of Torre Salinas, whose name is naturally linked to the Spanish-era building that dominates it.

This beach is distinguished by its vastness, reaching a width of one hundred meters in some areas, and by its golden-ochre-colored sand. On the dunes behind, sea lily blossoms emerge, while further inland, dense Mediterranean scrubland spreads, giving the landscape an extraordinary natural beauty.

The sea in this area surprises with its incredible transparency and the various shades of color it offers, alternating between shades of blue and green. This color spectacle is a true enchantment for visitors’ eyes.
