Description

The ancient village of Chia, an important Phoenician and then Roman centre named Bithia, was in a small cove where today there is one of the coastal towers built in the 17th century by the Spanish crown against the incursions of the Barbary pirates. Among the ruins brought to light following a storm, there are the remains of a Punic Tophet and the ancient road that connected it to the important city of Nora.

From the tower, overlooking the coast, there is access to a long stretch of sand interspersed with small coves framed by dense vegetation and lapped by an emerald-green sea.

Along the coast to the west you pass the beaches of Sa TuerraPorto Campana, Spiaggia de Su Sali, and Su Giudeu. This is also known as the spiaggia de s'Abba Durci (fresh water beach), it is a long stretch of white sand surrounded by high dunes covered with juniper trees.

On the back of this stretch of coastline lies the Spartivento Pond, precious natural oasis habitat for many animal species. In front of the beach of Giudeu, a short distance from the shore, there is an island separated from the mainland by shallow waters. T

On the westernmost part of this coast is the Cala Cipolla beach. Only accessible on foot, it extends around a small cove sheltered and enclosed by a rocky promontory that separates it from the more extensive coastline. From Cala Cipolla there is a scenic path that lets you reach the Faro di Capo Spartivento, whose summit dominates the whole southern coast of Sulcis.
