Portixeddu between Beach, Pine Trees and Historic Sites
Accommodation in Portixeddu
Portixeddu between sandy beach, river mouth and pine area
In the vicinity of Portixeddu lies Spiaggia di Portixeddu. The beach has fine, light-colored sand and is more than two kilometers long. Spiaggia di Portixeddu is also called Rio Mannu; the mouth of the Rio Mannu river divides the beach into two parts. The pine area of Portixeddu lies within the SIC area Is Compinxius – Campo Dunale di Buggerru – Portixeddu, with the code ITB042247. The mountain Punta de su Guardianu and the beach Spiaggia di Buggerru are also nearby. The beach of Scivu is also located in the vicinity of Portixeddu. Scivu therefore belongs both to the vicinity of Portixeddu and to the beaches that the inland variant of the fifth stage does not pass.
Season and local amenities in Portixeddu
In Portixeddu, beach kiosks and open restaurants are available only in summer. Outside this period, there are no dining options and no market there. This difference is therefore directly relevant when choosing your travel period: in summer, kiosks and open restaurants are part of the townscape, while outside this period there are no dining options or market there.
The Cammino Minerario di Santa Barbara between the coast and inland areas
The fifth stage of the Cammino Minerario di Santa Barbara provides important guidance for hikers. In strong winds or rough seas, it recommends an inland variant that avoids the beach and leads directly to Posada di Pitzinurri. The variant leads directly to Pitzinurri without passing the beaches of Scivu and Piscinas, and is also preferred during mistral winds and storms at sea. The coastal stage of the Cammino Minerario di Santa Barbara leads from Buggerru along the provincial road SP83 towards Portixeddu. Route planning is therefore directly linked to the weather conditions: in these conditions, the route leads inland to Pitzinurri instead of along the beaches of Scivu and Piscinas. The coastal stage, on the other hand, follows the connection from Buggerru via the SP83 towards Portixeddu.
