User reviews
"The beach has a striking resemblance to a lunar landscape and can be accessed on foot with a brief hike (not advisable for those with a fear of heights) or by canoe."
Aurelia Valtierra.
"This beach has a unique and distinctive feature - instead of sand, it consists of rocks and is nestled within a stunning cove that's surrounded by cliffs. To get there, simply walk for less than a kilometer from Santa Caterina di Pittinuri. The sea is a beautiful shade when it's hit by the sun, and the rocks add to the overall beauty of the place. The best part, in my opinio..."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Secret beach (Sardinia island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Secret beach (Sardinia island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Secret beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
