The best beaches of Capoterra
- La Maddalena Beach.A stone's throw from the imposing salt pool of Conti Vecchi is La Maddalena beach, about a kilometer long and thirty meters deep on average.The large-grained golden sand is washed by the green sea and has a predominantly sandy and moderately shallow seabed.
- Frutti d'Oro beach.Continuing south, you will come across Frutti d'Oro beach, only 200 meters long.It is mostly visited by residents, but its advantage is that it is very well maintained.Not suitable for families with children due to the presence of stones and coarse-grained sand mixed with gravel.However, if you avoid the crowds, you have found your perfect beach.
- Torre degli Ulivi beach. A few hundred meters from the beach of Frutti d'Oro, continuing in a southerly direction, you will come across the beach of Torre degli Ulivi, the wildest in the Capoterra area.This part of the sea has no natural shelters, which is why this place is so loved by surfers, especially where the kitesurfing school is located.In some places, the beach shrinks to a thin strip of medium-grained sand, but it stretches for more than a kilometer and offers you the opportunity to spend moments of absolute relaxation.
- Maramura Beach. If you prefer to swim alone and travel with your four-legged friends, we recommend a trip to Maramura Beach, which borders the northern pier of the former mine of San Leone.If you are a lover of industrial archeology, then here you will have to face 20 km of underground tunnels, attractive open-air quarries and a railway station, overgrown with vegetation.
- Orri Beach. In the area of Torre degli Ulivi you will find Orri beach, a shallow beach that is mainly made up of pebbles and is immersed in Mediterranean scrub.It takes its name from the nearby Villa d'Orry, a luxurious historic residence that hosted such notables as Carlo Felice of Savoy.At the end of a day at the beach, you can visit this villa and stroll through the garden, decorated with neoclassical busts.
