Platamona is a seaside hamlet in the municipalities of Porto Torres and Sorso, on the Gulf of Asinara. It is the historic beach of the people of Sassari — the one where the bourgeoisie of Sassari has holidayed for generations, where to this day you find the holiday homes of the inhabitants of the main town of northern Sardinia.
Its unique feature is the continuous 8 km beach — the longest in the Gulf of Asinara — flanked by a centuries-old pine forest of about 600 hectares (Pineta di Platamona). Pale sand, a gently shelving seabed perfect for families with children, no crowds even in August because the coastline is so extensive that everyone finds space.
We at AffittaSardegna directly manage 2 properties in Platamona since 2011 — a boutique selection for families who want authentic seaside relaxation a few km from our operational base in Porto Torres.

The beach of Platamona stretches for about 8 km from Porto Torres to Marina di Sorso, passing through the municipality of Sassari. It is conventionally divided into numbered stops (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) — a system used by the people of Sassari to point out the precise spot to each other.
