Accommodation in Salina Bamba
Salina Bamba between sea and wetland
Salina Bamba combines a distinctive coastal landscape with a special setting of beach, sea and wetland. Spiaggia Salina Bamba is a narrow strip of very white sand that separates the sea from the Stagno di Salina Bamba. It is precisely this close connection between bodies of water that makes the area interesting for travellers who want to experience a coastal stay through more than just the beach and also discover the surrounding nature.

Beach, families and protected nature
The seabed at Spiaggia Salina Bamba is shallow, making the beach suitable for families with children.

The Stagno di Salina Bamba is a habitat for black-winged stilts, herons and flamingos. Salina Bamba is also one of the beaches within the Tavolara Punta Coda Cavallo marine protected area.
