La Frana (Sassari) is located outside the La Muntagna settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Sardinia island
User reviews
"The beach is quite difficult to reach as there is only one narrow path with loose gravel next to a 10-meter drop. Despite the positive ratings, I have observed families attempting to access the beach, which is not advisable as the risk is not worth the average quality of the beach."
Myname Noreference
"Nice beach, not overly crowded, but occasionally you may encounter some unpleasant jellyfish during hot days. Unfortunately, my girlfriend was bitten by one. It's advisable to wear a t-shirt while swimming when the water is exceptionally warm."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
La Frana (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 La Frana (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 La Frana 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.
