If La Pelosa is the throne where the queen of Sardinian beaches sits, La Pelosetta is its cheeky, intimate, and irreverent younger sister. Perched at the northwestern tip of the island, this tiny cove rivals its famous neighbor in pure scenery, while bringing a vibrant, rocky personality all its own.
Here, the shore forms a cozy embrace of pale sand and flat slabs of dark schist—the ultimate perch for sunbathing like a lizard between swims. As for the sea? It is a veritable open-air pool, impossibly clear, with turquoise tones deepening into rich blues where the sandy floor gives way to stone.
The real magic of this corner lies in its intimate vantage point: you sit directly across from the islet of the Aragonese Tower and the wild silhouette of Asinara. At low tide—or aboard a stand-up paddleboard—reaching the tower's rocky base feels like diving into history just a few strokes away. La Pelosetta is tailor-made for those who crave the same iconic transparency of the gulf, paired with the bold character of the rocks and a postcard-perfect view just meters from their eyes.
