La Capannina Beach, also known as Riva di Ponente, stretches for over a kilometer in the territory of Arbatax, tucked neatly between the harbor area and the canal connecting the sea to the Tortolì lagoon.
The shoreline is wide and deep, made of medium-grained sand in warm golden and slate-gray tones that feel soft and inviting underfoot.
The sea features clear, luminous waters with colors shifting smoothly between emerald green and bright azure. The sandy seabed slopes gently toward the open sea, allowing for long wades through shallow water—a feature that makes this stretch of coast exceptionally safe and easygoing for swimming.
Framing the shore is a cool belt of pine forest that buffers the beach from the lagoon behind it, offering welcoming natural shade during the hottest hours of the day. Looking out from the sand, your view sweeps wide across the entire gulf, taking in the bold silhouette of the Islet of Ogliastra rising from the water and the distant mountain range of the Baunei Supramonte on the horizon.
