Holiday apartment in Sa Rocca Tunda: Discover the beach and cultural heritage

Sa Rocca Tunda combines a distinctive coastal landscape with remarkable traces of Sardinia’s past. Sa Rocca Tunda Beach lies at the foot of the Capo Mannu promontory. Light-grey sand, crystal-clear water and gentle dunes behind the shoreline characterise the beach. The beach is also located within the Sinis marine protected area. The coastal landscape comprises light-grey sand, crystal-clear water, gentle dunes behind the shoreline and the Capo Mannu promontory as distinct elements. For planning a day by the water, this stretch of coast can be divided into several natural areas: the shore, dunes, sea and promontory each form a separate part of the landscape.

Beach landscape at Capo Mannu in the Sinis marine protected area

At Sa Rocca Tunda Beach, the seabed remains shallow and sandy for several metres out from the shore. The shallow seabed therefore continues beyond the water’s edge as a defining feature of the beach. The beach is considered suitable for families with children. When planning a day on the coast, this distinction between the shore area and the water zone can be taken into account.

Domus de Janas and sacred spring in San Vero Milis

Sa Rocca Tunda also has a distinctive cultural profile. Sa Rocca Tunda is home to one of the three Domus de Janas necropolises in the San Vero Milis area. The Domus de Janas of Sa Rocca Tunda are burial sites carved artificially into the rock. At these sites, the rock is therefore not merely part of the landscape but forms the actual location of the burial sites. Sa Rocca Tunda in San Vero Milis is also home to a sacred spring. The spring adds another specific cultural site to the graves carved into the rock.
