Torre Grande Beach

I decided to visit this beach based on the positive reviews and appealing pictures I had seen. However, my experience was quite brief as I only stayed for around 10 minutes. The beach itself was fairly average for Sardinia, offering a view of industrial ruins. Unfortunately, the overall condition of the beach was not well-maintained. On a positive note, the entrance area was quite attractive with its beautifully paved pathway. However, beyond that, there was not much else to see or do. In conclusion, this beach may be suitable for those who appreciate industrial ruins and rundown structures, but personally, I found it to be quite disappointing.

One section of the beach tends to be less crowded, except maybe on weekends in August, although it is still less crowded compared to the village center. There is an intriguing attraction towards the nearly collapsed and unsafe pier. A bar has been established in the little plaza near the beach entrance, but I haven't witnessed it being open yet (I've only visited a few times).

Upon reaching the parking lots, I am pleased to see a well-organized area designated for cars, complete with a small square featuring a kiosk and restroom facilities. The necessary amenities are all present and well-maintained. It is unfortunate, however, to witness the wharf's complete neglect, as it deteriorates steadily like a concrete eco-monster. My fond memories from youth have vanished when confronted with the dreadful barrier obstructing access to the wharf. On a positive note, a lifeguard service was available.

The beach is quite dirty, and unfortunately, there are people who lack proper education and leave plastic bottles scattered around. Additionally, the fountain in the park is inaccessible as you need to request the tap from the bar.

The beach is incredibly spacious, featuring a vast stretch of wide and lengthy shoreline adorned with exquisite yellow sand. However, the water is not calm and tends to quickly become deep. Regrettably, there is a pier that is in a state of extreme deterioration, which is quite disheartening. Despite these drawbacks, the beach is generally pleasant. However, I would not suggest it for families with children, individuals seeking a soothing swim, or disabled individuals, as it lacks a welcoming and clean atmosphere. Nonetheless, it is a delightful spot for dog owners or those seeking solitary moments.
