2. How to get to the beach

The fastest way to get to Sant'Elmo Beach è by car, as you will arrive from Villasimius in about 15 minutes, following the SP19 road northward.

You can also opt for the public transportation. From Villasimius you will arrive at the Sant'Elmo stop in 45 minutes approximately by line 101. 

Finally, you can also use the bike, in fact from Villasimius you will get to the beach in 50 minutes approximately by following the SP18 road.

3. Advice and suggestions

Due to the small size of the beach, it tends to be quite crowded during the high season. We therefore recommend going in the early half of the morning to find room on the beach and in the parking lot.

In addition, we recommend visiting other beaches in the area such as the Marina di San Pietro Beach, Cala Sintias, Cala Pira, Is Piscadeddus and Punta Molentis.

4. Activities in the area

The Villasimius area offers several activitiesà that you can do during your vacation such as wine tastings, picnics, horseback riding, quad bike rides.

But to explore the coast and enjoy a day at the sea with friends or family, we recommend the boat trips or dinghy rentals.

Among the various options, you can choose from sunset excursions, day trips that include lunch on board or snorkeling to observe the beautiful seabed in the area.
