Holiday apartment in Mandriola: beach, coastal trails and sailing tours

Mandriola, with its beach, is located on the Sinis Peninsula in the area of San Vero Milis. The town combines a small, clearly defined coastal landscape with paths leading to prominent points, maritime activities and the history of Torre Sa Mora. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Mandriola, you will discover a coastal town whose attractions are best explored through its beach, sea, excursions and historical traces.

A small beach between low cliffs

Mandriola Beach is small and lies between two low cliffs. Its surface consists of medium-grained white sand and pebbles. The sea is crystal clear and blue-green; at the shore, the seabed is sandy and shallow. In general, the beach is sheltered from the winds. This combination gives the coastal stretch a distinctly individual character: here you will not experience a vast sandy beach, but a manageable place with changing structures of sand, pebbles, water and rock.

Coastal trails around Mandriola

The Giro ad anello di Capo Mannu circular route begins in Mandriola, leads via Capo Mannu, Sa Mesa Longa Beach and Cape Su Pallosu, and then returns to Mandriola. Another coastal excursion organized by CAI leads via the Faro di Capo Mannu and Torre sa Mora to Mandriola. The two routes have different focal points: the circular route connects several coastal points and beaches, while the CAI excursion includes the lighthouse and the historic tower in its itinerary.

The sea and maritime experiences

Mandriola Beach is used for scuba diving. Naturavventura also offers day trips by sailboat to the island of Mal di Ventre. The maritime range therefore extends from conditions at the shore to a full-day trip on the sea. When planning your trip, you can choose between a stay focused on the beach and underwater world and an excursion by sailboat.

Torre Sa Mora and the history of Porto Mandriola

Torre Sa Mora is a historic coastal tower associated with Porto Mandriola, the former name of Cala Saline. The tower was built to monitor the salt pans of Oristano and defend the landing place of Cala Saline, also known as Porto Mandriola. Thus, alongside the natural experience, the coast is home to a structure whose original purpose was closely linked to monitoring and defending this coastal area.

The base of Torre Sa Mora can be reached from Mandriola via the road towards Capo Mannu and then via an unpaved road. Access to the Torre itself is impossible because of its advanced state of deterioration and its location near the sea cliff.
