Rena Bianca Beach

The Rena Bianca is the main beach of Santa Teresa Gallura, a beautiful cove about 700 metres long characterised by a shallow seabed and soft, fine and, as its name suggests, bright white sand. At the shoreline, the sand takes on delicate pink hues thanks to tiny fragments of coral.

The beach is easy to reach once you arrive in the village, as it is located just below the main square. As soon as you see it, you will look forward to reaching it, although to get there you will have to walk downhill for about 300 metres along a flight of steps. The Rena Bianca is protected from the west wind by the Municca peninsula and the islet of Municchedda, on which stands the striking 16th-century Longosardo Tower.

You will fall in love with its clear, fresh and luminous waters, which fade from blue to turquoise and green. Precisely because of these characteristics, the Rena Bianca beach has been awarded the “Blue Flag” several times by the Foundation for Environmental Education, an accolade for the quality of its waters, the cleanliness of its coastline and the services offered, which guarantee comfort and safety to visitors.

Appreciated by divers and families with children alike, the Rena Bianca is also accessible to people with disabilities and has numerous facilities, ample parking and various refreshment points. In the bathing establishments present, you can rent pedal boats, boats and equipment for relaxing and snorkelling.

New: restricted access with ticket.

To contain the phenomenon of sand erosion and protect the environment, as of June 2024 the Municipality of Santa Teresa Gallura has introduced a closed-access system to the beach, valid from 1 June to 30 September.
