Pollu Beach and the Lotzorai Coastline

Pollu Beach and the Lotzorai Coastline

Pollu Beach is part of the vast coastline of the municipality of Lotzorai, a beautiful sandy strip interrupted only by river mouths. Characterized by fine, light sand, Pollu Beach is bordered by a lush and dense pine forest behind it, which provides natural shade and a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere. Facing the beach is the unmistakable silhouette of the Ogliastra Island.

The Girasole River Mouth and the Island View

The beach rises a short distance from the mouth of the Girasole river, a natural area of great value populated by herons and migratory birds. But the dominant visual element is undoubtedly the Ogliastra Island (Isola dell'Ogliastra), a small red granite archipelago situated about 1.5 nautical miles off the coast. The island, uninhabited and wild, is topped by a bronze statue of the Virgin of the Navigators and is rich in sheltered coves and spectacular seabed for snorkeling.

Outdoor: Kayak Excursion to the Island

For outdoor enthusiasts, Pollu beach is the perfect starting point for a sea adventure by canoe or kayak:

Once you reach the island, you can land in the small sandy cove on the western side to explore the granite cliffs on foot.

Sweet Flavors: Seadas with Orange Blossom Honey

After an active paddle or a long day at the beach, treat yourself to a sweet Sardinian classic. At the beach kiosks or restaurants in Lotzorai, order a freshly fried seada: a thin pastry envelope filled with melted lemon-scented sour cheese, served hot and drizzled with local orange blossom honey, which adds a delicate citrus scent.
