April 7, 2025, Molentargius-Saline Regional Nature Park

This place is a good example of how conservation can be overdone. Driving along the dam allows you to get closer to the flamingos than walking or cycling through the so-called park. I was disappointed. It's better to go to the zoo to see the flamingos.

The journey takes you along a gravel road that branches off the coastal road between Costa Rei and Villasimius. The route is easy to drive on, but hardly signposted. In one of the hairpin bends is the L'Oleandro Hotel & Beach, which will serve as a signpost. From there, the side road, Strada per Punta Molentis, leads off to the beach. Parking is free on the side of the road or on gravel areas near the beach. However, finding a parking space can be difficult, especially in high season.

The small dream bay of Punta Molentis on the south-east coast of Sardinia impresses with its picture-book panorama and crystal-clear water. The beach is the link between the mainland and the small peninsula of Punta Molentis. The special thing about the beach: one side of the beach is in a bay, has fine sand and attracts with shallow, calm water. The other side of the beach faces the open sea and is characterized by rocks and waves. Despite its isolation, the beach is very popular. To enjoy the view in peace, a visit early in the morning or in the off-season is ideal.
