San Teodoro is a popular tourist resort and La Cinta beach is Sardinia’s longest and widest and boasts the silkiest sand on the island. Behind the dunes lie Stagno di San Teodoro, a marshland area with a lake that is the habitat for many species of wildlife. La Cinta’s three-kilometre long stretch of sand between the lagoon and the sea offers what seems like an infinity of space. Sand everywhere you look and the best in the world. And the water: as clear as glass. You can see right to the bottom from far away, and the fine, glistening white sand makes the sea seem all the lighter in colour. The bay is a popular gathering place for tourism where surfers can rent surfboards or sign up for a surfing course. And the bay offers some of the world’s best scuba diving. Although, during the high season, La Cinta is not ideally suited for visitors in search of peace, quiet and solitude, the beach is a perfect setting for solitary pursuits in the off season.
