“Platamona is one of the longest beaches in north-west Sardinia — kilometres of pale sand broken only by the dunes and the centuries-old pine forest. The beach the people of Sassari have been going to for generations. 15 km from Porto Torres.”

Platamona is the stretch of coast between the municipalities of Sassari and Sorso, on the Gulf of Asinara. It's the historic beach of the people of Sassari — where Sassari's middle classes have spent their summers for generations, and where residents of northern Sardinia's main city still have their holiday homes today.
Its unique feature is the continuous beach that runs for kilometres — one of the longest on the Gulf of Asinara — lined by a centuries-old pine forest (Pineta di Platamona). Pale sand, a gently sloping seabed that's perfect for families with children, and no crowds even in August, because the shoreline is so long that everyone finds space.
In Platamona, AffittaSardegna directly manages a selection of homes for families who want a relaxing seaside holiday, a few km from our operational base in Porto Torres. A strategic location: 15 minutes from the ferry port, 15 minutes from the centre of Sassari, 50 minutes from Stintino and La Pelosa.
Platamona beach stretches for kilometres from Porto Torres to Marina di Sorso, passing through the municipality of Sassari.
The heart of the beach, with beach clubs, bars and restaurants. A family atmosphere, parking.
