Penisola del Sinis

Sardinia

The Sinis peninsula west of Oristano is one of Sardinia's most diverse nature areas. The beach of Is Arutas is composed entirely of quartz pebbles with a texture like rice grains. The Stagno di Cabras lagoon hosts pink flamingos year-round. And the ruins of Tharros — a Phoenician city — stand on the headland above.
