La Licciola

La Licciola opens along the coast west of Santa Teresa Gallura, in a stretch that feels wilder and less urbanized than the town beaches. The shoreline is broad and linear, composed of pale sand with light golden hues, forming a regular arc facing the Strait of Bonifacio and Corsica. The absence of buildings close to the shore enhances the sense of space and natural continuity.

The seabed is predominantly sandy and slopes gently, keeping the water shallow and transparent for several meters from the shore. Shades range from light green to bright turquoise on clear days, while further offshore the blue gradually deepens. On windy days, the sea surface may become more animated, with light waves adding movement and energy to the landscape.

Behind the beach stretch natural dunes and Mediterranean scrub, with rocky sections marking the edges of the bay. The overall setting balances the softness of sand with the presence of granite formations typical of Gallura, offering ever-changing views depending on light and sea conditions.

Reaching La Licciola by dinghy means adding to your itinerary a wide and luminous stop, ideal for a break in a less crowded setting compared to the central beaches of Santa Teresa. From the sea, the breadth of the shoreline and the openness toward Corsica are particularly evident, creating a continuous visual dialogue between the two sides of the Strait of Bonifacio. Including La Licciola in a dinghy tour allows you to alternate extended beaches with more articulated coastal stretches along the northern Gallura coastline.
