Pittulongu

Pittulongu is a small coastal spot on the Gulf of Olbia, in Sardinia, known for its light sandy beaches and shallow turquoise waters, well suited to families. Pittulongu beach, like nearby Bados beach, offers clear views out to the small offshore islet of Bocca. Perched on the rocks above the sea, Phi Beach is one of the area's standout venues, well known for its lively sunset gatherings and buzzing atmosphere throughout the summer season. For a bite to eat, the Baya del Sol restaurant is recommended for its squid spaghetti, a classic dish of Sardinian coastal cuisine. The town of Olbia, just a short drive away, adds to the appeal with its historic centre, shops and restaurants, along with an international airport providing easy access to the region. Pittulongu therefore makes a convenient base for exploring the nearby Costa Smeralda, combining swimming, coastal walks and local food in a well-preserved natural setting typical of north-eastern Sardinia.
