📍 Cos’è Marina di Sorso

Marina di Sorso is the seaside hamlet of the municipality of Sorso, nel Golfo dell’Asinara, costa nord-occidentale della Sardegna. Si trova sul prolungamento naturale della spiaggia di Platamona — un unico arenile continuo lungo circa 10-13 km long in total from the Porto Torres area to the border with Castelsardo, of which Marina di Sorso occupies the central part.

It is a residential and summer tourist area, dove generazioni di sorsesi (gli abitanti di Sorso, comune nell’entroterra a 7 km) hanno costruito le loro case di villeggiatura. Atmosfera familiare, lontana dalla mondanità, con la centuries-old pine forest behind it and the Golfo dell’Asinara in front.

We at AffittaSardegna have managed properties nell’area Platamona-Marina di Sorso since 2011 — 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 the families of the north-west keep as a secret. A long beach, a centuries-old pine forest, no mass tourism, honest prices. It is pure seaside relaxation.

🏖️ The Beach of Marina di Sorso

The beach of Marina di Sorso is part of the continuous Platamona-Marina di Sorso-Marritza system: over 10 km of uninterrupted clear sand, flanked by a centuries-old Aleppo pine forest (Pineta di Platamona, 600 hectares, protected area).

  • Fine pale sand, a seabed that slopes gently for hundreds of metres
  • Centuries-old pine forest behind it — natural shade, picnic area, trails
  • Ponds and reed beds behind it — an SCI area, birdwatching
  • Beach establishments and free areas with free car parks
  • An atmosphere of local Sardinian families , no tourist chaos
