Spiaggia di Funtana Meiga is a beautiful beach located in the peninsula of Sinis, within the municipality of Cabras, Sardinia. Nestled between the Seu oasis and the beach of San Giovanni di Sinis, it offers a picturesque and serene escape for visitors.
The beach is known for its varied natural landscape, which changes from year to year. It is characterized by large sandy areas with fine white-gray sand and exposed rocks, creating a mix of sandy and stony terrains. The sea is green and deep, with shallow sandy bottoms and clear water, ideal for families with children. The beach also offers a stunning panorama, particularly during sunsets.
Spiaggia di Funtana Meiga is also home to a unique natural feature - a small construction with a hole located 100 meters from the coast in the sea floor among the seagrass. This hole releases a freshwater underwater spring with a diameter of 10 meters, known as the "magic fountain" or "medical fountain". This spring is believed to have therapeutic properties, adding to the beach's allure.
Despite its beauty, the beach is not well-maintained, with seaweed often washed up on the shore. Visitors are encouraged to respect and care for the fragile natural ecosystem during their visit.
Reaching Spiaggia di Funtana Meiga involves heading towards Cabras from the village of San Giovanni di Sinis, then taking a poorly marked left turn towards the north. Alternatively, one can take the SS131 road, turn towards Oristano, continue towards Cabras, and then follow the signs for the beach, ending with a dirt road. Access to the beach can be challenging due to the steep stairs cut into the earth leading down to the waterfront.
The beach is partially crowded during peak seasons, but its spaciousness allows for a significant number of visitors. At both ends of the beach, there are two observation towers from which visitors can admire the Seu natural oasis. While specific details about the activities offered at the beach are not provided, the beach's natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere offer ample opportunities for relaxation and enjoyment.
