Cea
Just across the border with Barisardo but often associated with the territory of Tertenia, the beach of Cea is famous for the two red granite towers that rise from the sea like sentinels. The sand is pale and fine, the water perfectly clear. Access is straightforward and there are some seasonal services. It is one of the most photographed beaches in southern Ogliastra — the red rocks at sunset create scenes of rare chromatic beauty.
