Smeralda beach a Rena Bianca — Local services in Olbia

Beautiful scenic beach with (paid) amenities. There is a beach restaurant that has food and drinks as well as bathrooms (request the key at the bar). Service was a bit slow but staff were working hard. It was just busy. Umbrellas and chairs were available to rent from the lifeguard for $40/$50 (as of 07/28/24). This supposedly allows use of the shower by the beach for customers who pay for rentals but after my first child had rinsed off and the second was halfway through, the creepy senior lifeguard came over and told us we had to use the shower at the parking lot (despite others using it just prior to us). The showers and bathrooms at the parking lot are a 5-7min walk and payment is required to use either. The younger lifeguard was very helpful but the senior lifeguard seemed to be more interested in hitting on other men’s women than helping anyone. All in all I don’t think I would visit here again. The beach is beautiful but many beaches in Sardinia are and it felt like they charged at every possible opportunity. FYI: there is a beach right next to it that is much...

Thus is an amazing beach. The colors of the water are so pleasing to the eyes. So many different shades of blues blending. The waters are clean and pure. The sandy beach is not the fine white save but still lovely to walk in, not hot or prickly. The first 50m is only 1m deep so give to swim in, no dangerous rip tides. Very funny. The water us seemingly cool at first but warm after you dunk in. And alternating cool and warm currents flow throughout the shore. Very very fine beach. One of the best in the world (I’ve been to many…)

Saw a few different fishes water do clean and clear 1m you dnd easily see…not as colorful as tropical places...

This beach is amazing. The water is beautiful and clear, the sand is nice and nearly white and the water has an amazing temperature. There are lifeguards no more than 50 metres from you nevermind where on the beach you are. The only downside is that the parking lot is kinda far away, and costed money but not a lot of money. But an amazing beach overall. And there aren't a lot of people on the beach, so it's just great. Plus there is a café on the beach, with planks leading up to the beginning of the beach, making it...
