Maria Pia Beach
Spiaggia di Maria Pia
A long sandy beach north of the city centre, where dunes and pine woods meet the sea, reachable on foot or by bike from the old town.
Maria Pia Beach is the northward continuation of Lido Beach, north of Alghero's city centre. It stretches about 2 km, backed by protected dunes and juniper-pine woodland. Sea lilies bloom here in summer. The beach has good facilities, including beach clubs, bars, and a cycle path linking it to the old town, which makes it ideal for visitors who prefer not to drive. The shade of the trees keeps things cool in the afternoon, and at sunset you can see the silhouette of Capo Caccia in the distance.
