Spiaggia di Su Giudeu

Spiaggia di Su Giudeu is one of a number of fantastic beaches located near the resort of Chia, on the very southern tip of Sardinia. A wide stretch of curving, pale golden sand backed by high sand dunes and lapped by the crystal clear, blue waters of the Med.

Su Giudeu Beach has a wonderfully natural feel about it with little in the way of development visible from the sand. Juniper bushes dot the wind-sculpted dunes and the only thing between the beach and horizon is a small, green-topped island. At low tide it is possible to wade out through the shallow waters and visit the goats and seabirds which inhabit this islet.
Behind the beach is a small lagoon which is a birder’s delight with flamingos, herons and various other water birds to be spotted.

Beautiful as Su Giudeu is, it is also a great spot for a host of water-based activities. Windsurfing, kitesurfing and surfing are all popular here, and it is also a great spot for diving as there are a few shallow reefs not far from the shore.

If you fancy taking in some local culture after a day’s relaxing on the beach then nearby Bithia is well worth a visit. One of the most important archaeological sites in this region of Sardinia, this ancient town dates back to the Phoenicians nearly 3,000 years ago.
