Considered one of the wonders of the Mediterranean, the Beach of Piscinas, which is part of the territory of Arbus, in the Costa Verde, consists of kilometres of sand dunes, among the highest in Europe, ‘living’ and shaped by the north-westerly mistral wind, stretching from the hinterland to the sea and the home of centuries-old junipers with twisted branches, mastics, sea daffodils and old olive trees that become little woods.
Diving into its clear, blue sea, you can explore the seabeds, where the wreckage of an English ship has been resting for several centuries and is laden with lead and armed with a cannon.
In certain periods of the year, the Sardinian deer roams around the Mediterranean scrub, while sea turtles lay their eggs on the sand.
Rio Piscinas, a river that takes on a distinctive reddish colour passing by the abandoned Mines of Montevecchio (Guspini - Arbus), flows near the dunes.
