Spiaggia di Mare Morto is a picturesque beach situated in Cabras, a city on the western coastline of the island of Sardinia, Italy. Renowned for its crystal-clear waters, fine white sand, and serene environment, the beach provides an idyllic setting for relaxation and recreation.
A unique feature of this beach is its unusually calm waters, leading to its name, 'dead sea'. The beach's sheltered position protects it from waves, making it a favored spot for visitors during periods of strong wind when other beaches in the region have rough waves. This calmness makes Spiaggia di Mare Morto an ideal location for swimming, particularly for families with children.
However, the absence of waves also results in a higher than usual accumulation of seaweed on the beach. Although the beach is generally well-maintained, visitors have suggested that the local council could enhance its cleanliness and control measures.
Spiaggia di Mare Morto offers a range of recreational activities for visitors. These include snorkeling, sailing boat excursions, and sunbathing on the beach's rocky outcrops. The beach is adorned with colorful umbrellas and benches scattered along the coastline, enhancing its natural beauty and providing comfortable spots for sunbathing and relaxation.
However, it's worth noting that the beach lacks certain amenities, such as fresh water showers and public restrooms. Furthermore, reaching the beach requires a bit of a walk, including a hill climb and some exposure to sunlight.
Due to its limited space, Spiaggia di Mare Morto can get crowded, particularly during peak times. As such, visitors are advised to spend part of their day at the main beach nearby before heading to Spiaggia di Mare Morto in the late afternoon.
