The view is as Mediterranean as you can find in this area of the island.

A really great campsite with a lovely owner. It's about a 40-minute walk down to the sea over the dunes. ...

A gorgeous beach. Almost deserted outside of the season.

Built in the early 1900s and named after Lord Thomas Allnutt Brassey, the Naracauli Washery processed blende, the mineral from which zinc was extracted. Connected to the Gennamari and Ingurtosu mines by funiculars and railways, it was one of Sardinia's main mining facilities for decades. Dismantled in the 1970s, today its monumental remains—immersed in the landscape of the Costa Verde—are one of the most iconic images of the Sardinian Geomineral Park.

Piscinas beach is one of the most picturesque spots in southwestern Sardinia. The golden sand dunes, up to 60 meters high, extend for several kilometers to the sea and are among the most impressive in Europe. Shaped by the wind and covered in Mediterranean vegetation, they offer an unusual landscape for the island. The area is part of the Geo-Mineral Historical Environmental Park of Sardinia and is home to protected species such as the Sardinian deer and sea turtles. For almost a century, this location was used to store and then load merchant minerals arriving by rail from the Ingurtosu Mine. Piscinas offers few services, but its charm lies precisely in its isolated and natural character.

Pro tip: You don't have to cycle through the deep spot where the cars drive through; there's a footpath to the side in the bushes where you can cross with your bike almost without getting your feet wet.
