Su Guventeddu beach is located within the municipal territory of Pula, in southern Sardinia.
It is a medium-sized inlet, about 380 metres long, no more than 12 metres wide, with a total surface area of 4,500 square metres. Its fine-grained white and golden sand and shallow seabed make it a suitable destination for families with children.
A few hundred metres from Su Guventeddu beach is the archaeological park of Nora, site of one of the most important cities in Sardinia during the Punic and Roman periods (6th-2nd century BC). The beach also offers a view to the 'Coltellazzo' tower, built around the 16th century AD to defend the coast from attacks by Saracen pirates.
The Romanesque church of Sant'Efis, where the martyrdom of one of the island's most venerated saints allegedly took place, is also a short walk from the beach. A pine forest and eucalyptus grove lie to the northeast of the beach where car parking is allowed.
Access mode
To get to the beach, follow the S.S. 195 from Cagliari to Pula, then follow the signs for Nora and finally take the 'Su Guventeddu' municipal road. After 500 metres, you will find the car parks in front of the beach.
Available services
About 200 metres away, in the same direction, is the 'Santa Vittoria' park, with wild olive trees and other Mediterranean shrub species. There are a few kiosk-bars with facilities for bathers and several hotels and restaurants in the area.
