The beaches covered in this guide
The 2027 rules come out in spring: here you'll find those for 2026, which usually change little from one year to the next.
In the 2000s–2020s the growth in tourism caused sand erosion, destruction of posidonia, extreme overcrowding and loss of biodiversity. Limited access makes it possible to cap the environmental impact, keep the water crystal clear and improve the quality of the experience for those who get in. Today it is an established reality and is set to expand in the coming years.

Bidderosa is less well known than La Pelosa but it is extraordinarily wilder. The oasis's 5 coves, linked by paths through the pine forest, stay quiet even in August precisely thanks to the limited number of cars. Up-to-date numbers, fares and opening hours are on the oasis's official website (Forestas / Municipality of Orosei).
