A long stretch of sand

Details and description

Just south of the town of Sant’Antioco there’s a splendid sandy beach with calm, shallow water; an ideal place for long, relaxing walks in a lovely, tranquil natural setting. This stretch of coast is called Is Pruinis, the longest beach in Sant’Antioco, a wonderful spot you can easily reach by bike. The quiet atmosphere and soft contours of the landscape make this an ideal place for relaxing and escaping from the fast pace of everyday life.

If you continue along the beach you get to a peaceful little spot with fine sand and crystal-clear water. It is called Su Forru’a Macchina and it takes its name from an old stone-built lime kiln, the reminder of an activity that was once important to the local economy. This is one of the most intriguing aspects of the Island of Sant’Antioco: wherever you go, you come across fascinating evidence of a story stretching far back in time.
