Lu Litarroni
A wide stretch of pale sand in northern Gallura, where dunes, junipers, and open sea create a broad and luminous landscape facing the Strait of Bonifacio.
Discover Lu Litarroni
Lu Litarroni extends along the northwestern coast of Gallura, within the territory of Aglientu, forming a long band of pale sand that faces directly toward the Strait of Bonifacio. It is a spacious and airy beach, characterized by continuity rather than fragmentation, where the horizon line dominates the view and the open sea becomes the true protagonist of the landscape.
Behind the shoreline lies a natural dune system dotted with junipers, lentisk shrubs, and Mediterranean scrub, creating a vegetative transition between the beach and the inland terrain. The sand is light, fine, and compact, while the seabed slopes more decisively than in sheltered coves, giving the water greater depth not far from shore. Sea colors alternate between intense green and deep blue, especially on days when the wind moves the surface and creates ever-changing reflections.
Unlike the intimate bays of the La Maddalena Archipelago, Lu Litarroni offers a pronounced sense of openness and scale. The landscape here is linear and expansive: a long shoreline, open water, and sky merging into a single uninterrupted horizon. On clear days, the outline of Corsica appears in the distance, adding another layer to the perception of space and reinforcing the feeling of being at the northern edge of Sardinia.
Reaching Lu Litarroni by dinghy means engaging with a more exposed and powerful stretch of coastline, where attention to weather conditions becomes essential. Navigating parallel to the shore allows you to appreciate the beach’s remarkable length and the energy of the open Mediterranean. Including Lu Litarroni in a dinghy itinerary along the Aglientu coast adds a distinctly different stop compared to sheltered bays: here the experience is broader, more horizontal, and deeply connected to the authentic scale of the northern sea.
What to expect in this paradise
Wild shoreline, natural dunes, and deep waters with intense reflections: Lu Litarroni is one of the most open and scenic stretches along the Aglientu coastline.
