Mari Pintau<\/strong> means ‘painted sea’. The signature on this painting is nature itself, creator of a masterpiece with skilful artistic brushstrokes and a thousand shades of emerald-blue that contrast with the green of the surrounding hills. Its name could not have been more apt. The wonderful beach of Mari Pintau<\/em> is the pearl of the territory of Quartu Sant’Elena<\/strong>: it is located along the bends of the scenic road that leads to Villasimius<\/strong>, about twenty kilometres from the centre of Cagliari<\/strong>, in the tourist location of Geremeas<\/em><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n It is a beach of smooth, round granite pebbles and stones, washed by the crystal clear waters, that become more sparse as they make way for the fine, white sand. Its transparency allows a clear view of the sandy seabed, dotted by rocks on which the sunlight is reflected. Behind the beach, the hills are covered by fragrant Mediterranean shrubs, where there is a path, taking you from the car park to the beach. Mari Pintau<\/em> is the ideal destination for those who like to do underwater fishing or who wish to dive down to the wonderful depths. You will find services here, as well as a beach establishment with equipment rentals and a kiosk-bar.<\/span><\/p>\n Along the scenic road to Villasimius, you can admire other gems: as you reach Cagliari, first you will encounter the splendid rocks of Cala Regina<\/strong> and the pebbles of Is Canaleddus<\/em><\/strong>, a beach behind which there is a thicket of eucalyptuses and junipers. As well as the \u2018painted sea\u2019, you will find the large bay of Geremeas<\/em>, featuring beaches of coarse-grained white sand: a promontory separates Mari Pintau<\/em> from the tiny golden-grained sand of Kala \u2018e Moru<\/em><\/strong> and then there are the beautiful and relaxing beaches of Marongiu<\/em> and Baccu Mandara<\/em><\/strong>. In the nearby hinterland, you can visit interesting archaeological sites and the mountain park of Sette Fratelli<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A spectacular beach with smooth stones washed by the deep blue sea, a colour that you will only see in these locations on the southern coast of Sardinia, a few Continue Reading →<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2786,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-939","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.unica.it\/orbitaly2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.unica.it\/orbitaly2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.unica.it\/orbitaly2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.unica.it\/orbitaly2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2786"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.unica.it\/orbitaly2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=939"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/sites.unica.it\/orbitaly2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/939\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":945,"href":"https:\/\/sites.unica.it\/orbitaly2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/939\/revisions\/945"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.unica.it\/orbitaly2017\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
