Spiaggia Pittulongu — Attraction in Olbia

Just come back from a weeks stay here. It is a beautiful island not very touristy at all. The beaches are stunning with clear water brilliant for snorkelling. It is a little gem of a country, so much to explore. We hired a car and went round the north of the island where there are some stunning beaches.

The bus ASPO no. 4 connects all the beaches, but pay attention to the hours of the bus, because it passes rarely and only...

But it is free and very close the enter the beach. You have to walk like 25 meters to get onto the beautiful stretch out calm waters. The water is so clear and like slowly descending so ideal for kids to. The swimming area is marked and close by there is a place for some cold and warm drinks. So now and than you see some planes passing through. Little bit further you see the big boats passing. When you leave you can trash your garbage in the several bins and...
