In the heart of the Chia coast, there is a vast and welcoming beach of fine sand that plunges into a dream sea. The suggestive beach of Porto Campana is a large beach characterized by dunes covered with small shrubs, creating a priceless setting. Not far away is the Capo Spartivento pond, with gray herons, coots and egrets.

Capo Spartivento Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Built in 1854 by the Italian Navy, the lighthouse testifies to the historical importance of the place, being part of a series of lighthouses commissioned by Vittorio Emanuele II of Savoy, as evidenced by the wrought iron initials on the entrance door. Although it suffered damage during World War II, it was later rebuilt. Today, the lighthouse has been transformed into a five-star hotel, offering from its top a spectacular panoramic view of the entire southern coast of Sulcis.

If you approach from the east, from Cala Cipolla, a closed door may initially cause concern, but it is important to know that, although it prevents vehicular traffic, it is open to pedestrians.

October 3, 2023,IT-SRD Capo Spartivento + Baia di Chia

The Capo Spartivento and the Baia di Chia are probably the best that the south of Sardinia has to offer and are probably in our personal top 10 overall.
So this morning we get bus tickets in the lively bar, take a stop so we don't have to go on the road and start hiking.
The first highlight are the …

A beautiful route with a great view of the sea 😁. Free parking is no problem during the off-season. But the best part was... seeing a hoopoe for the first time in years.

You can hitchhike from Chia to the start of the tour, then you are right at the car or hotel.
In the main season some people go the way, even if not completely, but still something is going on here. Those who want to swim and take a relaxed tour will like this hike. Avoid the crowded bays and instead …

June 29, 2024,Capo Spartivento — Rundtour

The path is easy to see, but in parts it is very difficult to walk on as it is very rocky and washed out. I would recommend sturdy shoes and long trousers as possible as there are sometimes scratchy thorns. I would also recommend walking the path so that you do the coastal part last. There are some beautiful bays …
