ROME – An oasis of blinding beauty. How else to define La Pelosa beach in Sardinia? The transparent, turquoise sea and the white sand are of a color that fills the gaze. And if you have never been there, in Stintino, in the northern area of the island, in the Sassari area, you will surely have seen a photo of it online because it is the second most beautiful beach in Italy< /strong> (the first, put your soul at rest, is the Conigli beach in Lampedusa according to Tripadvisor). An oasis, we were saying, so much so that it was necessary to introduce quotas for the (too many) tourists, requiring the payment of a ticket and very strict rules (such as having to wear a mat under the towel). . If you don’t respect them you risk a fine.

There has been a lot of criticism for these “rules” which, upon closer inspection, are simple indications for containing coastal erosion and protecting the environment but there are those who appreciate them and say: “We’ve been there, they’re just asking the mat under the towel to take away as little sand as possible. We made sure to wash the little girl’s toys well in the sea. The only thing, they should make the need for this type of “equipment” more public, we purchased it on site before accessing it but we could have done it in advance and saved a little… but never mind. However, they come by and warn you at least once or twice and if they still find you without it, they will fine you. There is intensive mass tourism and if this helps enjoy our territory while also protecting it, why not?”.
