About this Beach

Porto Ferro is a sweeping golden sand beach on Sardinia's remote northwestern coast near Sassari. Flanked by two dramatic promontories and backed by a pristine freshwater lake (Lago di Baratz, Sardinia's only natural lake), this beach offers one of the island's most spectacular natural settings. The beach faces west into the open Mediterranean, making it one of Sardinia's premier sunset spots. The exposure also means it can catch significant swells, attracting surfers and windsurfers when conditions align. On calm days, the water is beautifully clear with a deep blue color. The area around Porto Ferro remains wonderfully undeveloped, with the 16th-century Aragonese towers of Bantine Sale and Porta Conte standing sentinel on the headlands. The adjacent lake provides an alternative activity with birdwatching opportunities.

Beautiful, wild beach with golden clear water, and a natural vibe. We visited with our dog and it was absolutely perfect plenty of space, no stress, and our four legged friend had the time of his life running around and splashing in the water. It’s not overly crowded, and the surrounding landscape is stunning. Great spot for nature lovers, peaceful walks, and laid-back beach days. Highly recommended for dog owners. This place truly feels welcoming and free. One warning: the parking situation feels like a trap. There’s no clear information, and yet fines are handed out like candy. The beach is fantastic — but the parking enforcement is a joke. Pay attention, or you’ll pay for it.

What a great atmosphere! It’s like moving back in time into the 60s! Freedom, peace, love and beautiful people as well as one of the best sunset spots we’ve been to. There’s a rocky part and there’s a good stretch of reddish sand. It’s nicely nested in a deep bay, resulting in spectacular views. There’s a bar and griglieria, working as a co op, so the prices are great and their food is really nice, make sure to bring some money as you can buy some ethnic jewellery, tie dye or batik fabrics and lots of other treasures! It was, by far, our favourite beach.

Pretty nice beach for being free. A good break from having to pay so much for others. There was plenty of space on the beach area and lots of room to swim. The parking lot is a bit trashy but you don't swim in the parking lot. There's about a 400 meter walk to the beach from the parking lot which is not biggie. Just letting you know in case you plan on bringing a bunch of stuff. Enjoy!

We were there for the sunset which was amazing. Stunning view. But the beach is very dirty, full of plastic pieces and not only. Go there without expectations for the beach, but just for the sunset that worths.
