Along the central-western coast of Sardinia, in the captivating territory of San Vero Milis and the Sinis Peninsula, the Pauli Marigosa Lagoon (Stagno di Pauli Marigosa) unveils itself as a precious oasis of tranquility and biodiversity. This brackish body of water, nestled within a sheltered bay and enclosed by a delicate dune ridge, stands out as one of the island's most evocative wetlands.
The ecosystem of Pauli Marigosa is a true haven for nature lovers and birdwatching enthusiasts. Its calm waters host numerous species of migratory and resident birds, most notably elegant pink flamingos, herons, and black-winged stilts. Along the lagoon's shores, salt-marsh vegetation dominated by rushes, tamarisks, and glasswort creates a protected habitat of immense ecological value, where time seems to pass at a gentle, unhurried pace.
A visit to the lagoon pairs seamlessly with exploring the surrounding coast of San Vero Milis. Just steps away lies the beautiful beach of Sa Marigosa with its golden sand, while heading slightly further north brings you to the famous cat sanctuary of Su Pallosu and the beach of Sa Rocca Tunda. To the south, you'll find the transparent waters of Putzu Idu, the cliffside of Capo Mannu—beloved by surfers across Europe—and the striking sandy strip of Mesa Longa.
