White Beach
A bright stretch of almost white sand overlooking turquoise waters, one of the most iconic and scenic beaches in Golfo Aranci.
Discover White Beach
White Beach lies along the coast of Golfo Aranci in a location that is both easily accessible and highly scenic. Its name immediately recalls its defining feature: very pale sand that, on sunny days, reflects the light and creates a striking contrast with the turquoise sea.
The beach is wide and regular, with predominantly sandy seabeds that slope gently in the first few meters. The water shifts from light green to deeper blue as the depth increases, while maintaining remarkable clarity. On calm days, the sea resembles a vast natural pool; with light winds, small ripples animate the surface without affecting its transparency.
Behind the shoreline, Mediterranean vegetation alternates with low rocky profiles, while the panorama opens toward Capo Figari and, on the clearest days, as far as Tavolara. The combination of pale sand, crystal-clear water, and wide horizon makes White Beach one of the brightest stops in the entire gulf.
Reaching it by dinghy allows you to fully appreciate its striking color contrasts from the sea and to easily include it in an itinerary that may also feature Cala Greca, Cala Moresca, and the other coves of the area. It is an ideal stop for those seeking shallow, transparent waters in an open and easily accessible setting during a coastal tour of Golfo Aranci.

Fun Facts and Frequently Asked Questions
Where is White Beach located?
White Beach is located in the area of Golfo Aranci, along the north-eastern coast of Sardinia, between Cala Sassari and the beaches overlooking Figarolo Island. It is one of the most well-known beaches in the area, appreciated for its very light sand and shallow, clear seabed that creates a bright and distinctive color effect.
Its location is particularly strategic, as it is just a short distance from Olbia, Porto Rotondo and Porto Cervo, making it easy to include within itineraries along the Costa Smeralda and the Gulf of Olbia.
How can you reach White Beach?
White Beach is easily accessible by land via the coastal road of Golfo Aranci, with direct access points to the beach and nearby parking areas. This makes it one of the most convenient beaches in the area for those traveling by car.
Reaching it by sea, however, is one of the most interesting options, especially to avoid peak hours and enjoy the coastline from a different perspective. With Flag Sardinia’s luxury RIB boats, it is possible to arrive directly in front of the beach, stop for a swim or include it as part of a wider itinerary.
Guests with a boating license can choose bareboat rental and move independently, while those who prefer to relax can opt for a skippered experience.
What is White Beach known for?
White Beach is known for its very light-colored sand and shallow, transparent seabed that creates particularly bright reflections, which is also the origin of its name. The generally calm waters make this stretch of coastline ideal for long and relaxing stays.
Another distinctive element is the presence of beach clubs and facilities that make the atmosphere more lively compared to other nearby coves, attracting both visitors looking for relaxation and those who prefer a more dynamic setting.
The view of Figarolo Island and the surrounding coastline completes the scenery, making White Beach one of the most recognizable beaches in Golfo Aranci.
What can you do at White Beach?
White Beach is perfect for a relaxing day by the sea, thanks to its shallow seabed and easy access. It is ideal for swimming, sunbathing and spending several hours in the water, especially on calm days.
The presence of beach facilities and services makes it suitable for those seeking comfort, with the possibility to rent sunbeds and enjoy the day without concerns. At the same time, visitors arriving by sea can combine a stop at the beach with other nearby destinations.
Many itineraries include White Beach together with Cala Sassari, Cala Sabina and Figarolo Island, creating a varied day between equipped beaches and more natural spots.
What is the best time to visit White Beach?
White Beach can be visited from May to October, but the best period depends on the type of experience you are looking for.
During the peak summer season, it is one of the busiest beaches in the area, offering a lively atmosphere and fully operational services. It is the best time for those looking for energy and a complete beach experience with beach clubs.
In June and September, on the other hand, it is possible to enjoy the beauty of the beach with fewer crowds, while still benefiting from ideal temperatures and generally favorable sea conditions. Spring is also a good option for quieter visits, especially during the central hours of the day.
Why visit White Beach during a RIB boat tour?
Visiting White Beach during a RIB boat tour allows you to avoid peak crowd times and reach the area directly from the sea, choosing freely where to stop.
Arriving by boat offers a more complete view of the beach and its colors, while also making it possible to combine the stop with nearby destinations such as Cala Sassari, Cala Sabina, Capo Figari and Figarolo Island.
With Flag Sardinia’s luxury RIB boats, the experience is fully customizable: you can choose a self-driven rental if you have a boating license or rely on a skipper to discover the best spots along the coast and optimize your itinerary.
