Landscape of Capo San Marco, Sinis peninsula, with the tower of San Giovanni and the ruins of Tharros in the background, contrasting with the emerald water.

The closest beach to the historic center, Spiaggia di San Giovanni is part of a long stretch of sand that curves around the bay almost uninterrupted to Fertilia. In Alghero you can hire umbrellas and sunloungers for about €15 per day, as well as windsurfers and canoes.
