Spiaggia Maria Pia is a long, airy beach just west of Alghero, with pale sand, soft dunes, and turquoise water. Best for sweeping shoreline compositions, dune lines leading to the sea, and dramatic cloud-and-surf skies—especially with the wind creating texture on the water. Parking is nearby along Viale I Maggio; arrive early for space. Mild seas in spring/autumn; summer brings stronger crowds and glare.
