Museddu Beach
A hidden, intimate cove reached by following a short path through Mediterranean scrubland. Museddu beach is a little-known corner of paradise, unfamiliar even to many Ogliastrans: very fine cream-coloured sand, crystal-clear water ranging from emerald green to cobalt blue, and an almost unreal silence even in August. The absence of permanent facilities and the relatively challenging access keep the crowds away. Bring water and food as there are no services on site. One of the most beautiful and least celebrated beaches on the entire eastern coast.
