Platamona is a long sandy beach near Sassari, on Sardinia’s north coast. Pine woods and dunes border the shore, with views towards Asinara from parts of the beach. The water can be clear and warm, and a gentle slope makes entering the sea easier. Platamona is a good choice if you want room to swim and fewer people than at some better-known local beaches. Wind can bring large waves and make sunbathing uncomfortable, so check the conditions before you go.
Sand, dunes and pine woods
Platamona stretches along Sardinia’s north coast, between Porto Torres and Castelsardo. The sandy shoreline extends for about 8 km, and the sand’s colour changes as you move east. Behind the beach, pine woods and dunes give the coast a natural edge. From parts of the shore, you can look towards Asinara.
Swimming and conditions
The beach is known for swimming, with water that can be clear and warm and a gently sloping entry in some areas. Conditions can change with the wind: on windy days, waves may grow too large for comfortable sunbathing. Choose a calmer day if relaxing on the sand is part of your plan. Near Condominio di Sorso, two bars provide a place to stop for refreshments.
