Holiday apartment in Monte Petrosu between the coast and culture
Coastal destinations around Monte Petrosu include Cala Girgolu, Spiaggia di Porto Taverna, Spiaggia di Punta Molara and Spiaggia di Salina Manna. Cala Girgolu, Spiaggia di Porto Taverna, Spiaggia di Punta Molara and Spiaggia di Salina Manna are located in the immediate vicinity of Monte Petrosu. These destinations can be included in your holiday plans as several coastal options. Spiaggia delle Vacche is a 30-metre-long stretch of beach with fine, cream-coloured sand, rocky outcrops and crystal-clear water.
Cala Girgolu and special beach features
Cala Girgolu also brings together two distinctive features. The Tartaruga rock at Cala Girgolu was shaped by the forces of wind and waves acting over thousands of years. Cala Girgolu has a shallow, sandy seabed and is suitable for calm swimming, including for children. For families, this makes it a specific focal point for a relaxing day at the beach.
Church, festivals and village tradition
An evening vigil Mass is celebrated at the Chiesa di Sant'Andrea Apostolo on Saturday evenings. The Festa di Sant'Andrea usually takes place on the first Sunday in June. A Festa campestre is also associated with the Chiesa di Sant'Andrea Apostolo. These religious connections give you a reason to take the local festival and religious traditions into account alongside days at the beach.
