Close to Stintino you find the famous Pelosa beach. It is very nice but the surroundings are very heavy exploit. The beach is very nice, but thinking of what it will look like in peak season makes me shiver. You will probably have problems, finding a free spot at all. But if you like crowdy beaches it Will be paradise.

We've visited La Pelosa twice... On Wednesday, it was awesome. Azure blue water with clear sky & light breeze created atmosphere just like you imagine when you look at magazine's front page with Photoshop-enhanced picture on it. As nice as it gets... But... visiting the same beach on Saturday was nightmare. Hundreds of people putting their towels close to each... More

This place took my breathe away. Absolutely gorgeous. I went in may so there was hardly anyone at the beach. An absolute paradise.

Even if there is a frequent shuttle service from the hotel to the beach, the place is nice but far too crowded: You cannot even place a towel on the beach! Probably better in low season, certainly not worth going there during summer time. There are plenty of other places nearby reachable by car quite easily.

The water is like a dream...a bit cold for me but the landscape is worth a visit. The best time: Mai and June. Later it gets really crowded!

We spent the 3rd week of May in Stintino and the weather was wonderful and although La Pelosa Beach had a lot of sunbathers it was not crowded.

this is the best beach I´ve ever seen, and I´ve been in a lot of them, except those in Asia. The problem is that it´s quite small, and there are a lot of people, so you must go, or early in the morning, or late afternoon, but if you visit Sardinia, do not forget to visit, it´s worth it

Worth seeing yourself even at the cost of elbow work 8-) Definitely one of the most beautiful spots on Sardinia. Fine sand. Slowly getting depth (good for smaller kids). Warm, emerald water. Great views to the coast watchtowers and to Asinara island. Probably best visited a little off-high season. Beware of possible strong currents in more open waters, especially if... More

My boyfriend and I rented a car and took the trip up to La Pelosa from Alghero. The drive was easy and scenic (took about 30 minutes). Once we got closer to the beach I was completely in awe, with the beauty of La Pelosa. The most crystal blue water and white sand, defiantly worth the trip, and a major... More
