La Frana

La Frana is an alluring cove beach situated on the coast of Sassari, in the region of Argentiera, Sardinia. The beach is renowned for its natural beauty, distinguished by its crescent shape, steep cliffs, and surrounding Mediterranean vegetation. Its medium-grain grey sand and rocky seabed, coupled with its crystal-clear waters ranging from emerald green to blue, make it a popular spot for diving and fishing. The sea is also known to be rich in fish, adding to the beach's appeal for those interested in marine life. Despite its beauty, the beach is not typically crowded, even during the summer, due to its challenging access. To reach La Frana, visitors must take the SS291 road from Sassari towards Alghero, exit at Argentiera, follow signs to Bancali, and then take the SP 18 road to the beach of Porto Palmas. From there, a 2-kilometer trek along the Nurra coastal path, which is part of the Argentiera-Nurra trail, leads to the beach. The route passes by the Ebi Dozzi beach and offers stunning views of the lively waters of La Frana from above. However, visitors are advised to be cautious due to the steep and potentially dangerous cliffs. The beach can also be accessed by sea, either with private boats or with the assistance of an experienced guide. This option might be more suitable for those looking for an adventurous way to reach the destination. Parking is available at Le Marine, from where the walk to the beach begins. However, visitors should note that there are no services available on the beach itself, suggesting the need for self-sufficiency during their visit. Despite the lack of amenities, La Frana remains a unique destination offering tranquility and a chance to connect with nature.
