Beautiful rocky promontories embrace and protect its sides as they descend into the transparent sea with its waters reflecting shades of turquoise and blue. Five kilometres north of the medieval village of Bosa, along the scenic road heading to Alghero, you will find the small and beautiful white sandy beach of Compoltitu, in a natural harbour, with its shallow, crystal clear waters, which has earned itself the highest recognition by Legambiente (Italian environmentalist association). You will be struck by the overall scenery of the cove, set between reefs of white limestone rocks smoothed by the sea, allowing you to stretch out in the sun serenely, in a place completely sheltered from the northwesterly wind. Alternatively, you can use them as a trampoline for diving into the water above a sandy seabed. While doing some snorkelling, you can explore the nearby rocky coves.

From the car park, you can walk along a short, bumpy path through the Mediterranean scrub. Once you reach your destination you will find a true pearl of nature before you, in an unspoilt natural setting.
In another splendid inlet, about a kilometre away, before entering the charming town of Bosa, you will find s’Abba Druche, a small easily accessible beach with medium-grain sand, pebbles and shells washed by a green sea. Four kilometres further on, you will enter the historic city most typical of Sardinia, at the mouth of the Temo river, with all its attractions – the Malaspina Castle, ancient tanneries, the historic town centre and the colourful houses of the sa Costa district, unique on the Island.
