Marina di Sorso: unbroken sand
and a centuries-old pine forest on the Gulf of Asinara

“Marina di Sorso is the natural continuation of Platamona — kilometres of pale sand, a centuries-old pine forest behind, a family atmosphere far from mass tourism. The beach the people of Sorso keep for themselves.”

What Marina di Sorso is like

Marina di Sorso is the seaside village of the municipality of Sorso, on the Gulf of Asinara, on Sardinia's north-western coast. It lies on the natural continuation of Platamona beach — a single, unbroken stretch of sand about 10–13 km long in total from the Porto Torres area to the border with Castelsardo, with Marina di Sorso occupying the central section.

It is residential and busy with holidaymakers in summer, and generations of sorsesi (the people of Sorso, a town about 5 km inland) have built their holiday homes here. A family atmosphere, far from the glitz, with a centuries-old pine forest behind it and the Gulf of Asinara in front.

At AffittaSardegna we manage properties in the Platamona-Marina di Sorso area — a selection for families looking for a very long beach + peace and quiet + honest prices, 20 minutes from our operational base in Porto Torres.

Marina di Sorso is the Sardinia that families in the north-west keep as their secret. A long beach, a centuries-old pine forest, no mass tourism, honest prices. Pure beach relaxation.

The beach at Marina di Sorso

The beach at Marina di Sorso is part of the continuous Platamona-Marina di Sorso-Marritza stretch: more than 10 km of uninterrupted pale sand, lined by a centuries-old forest of Aleppo pines (Pineta di Platamona, a protected area).

  • Fine pale sand, a gently sloping seabed for hundreds of metres
  • Centuries-old pine forest behind — natural shade, picnic area, paths
  • Ponds and reed beds behind — a protected SIC site, birdwatching
  • Beach clubs and free public stretches

  • Family atmosphere with local Sardinians, no tourist chaos
