Marinella Beach: Kilometres of Sand, Sport and Lounge Bars
Marinella Beach: kilometres of sand for windsurfing and families. Beach clubs that turn into lounge bars at sunset. Large car park. KS Rent from Porto Rotondo.
Stretching between Porto Rotondo and Golfo Aranci, this vast sweep of fine sand hosts premium beach clubs that transform into lively sunset hubs. A large municipal car park sits nearby, and KS Rent can deliver your vehicle from Olbia in just 20 minutes.
Why does this wide, wind-brushed bay capture the true spirit of the Gallura coast?
Sheltered from the mistral by the rocky promontory of Punta Marana, the sheer scale of the bay ensures everyone finds their rhythm. Active travellers, families seeking gentle shallows, and those drawn by the allure of evening beach parties gather along this pristine stretch where the turquoise water remains shallow for metres out.
Reaching the Bay
Arriving from nearby Porto Rotondo takes a mere 3 minutes, whilst the drive from Olbia is a straightforward 15 minutes. Drivers will find a sprawling, council-run paid parking area situated directly behind the main establishments. The total route measures exactly 18 km from Olbia.
Watersports and Shoreline Culture
- Hire stands for windsurfing, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and sea kayaking
- Serviced shorelines featuring private sun loungers and excellent seaside dining
- Golden hour gatherings featuring live DJ sets right on the sand

Venturing Beyond Marinella
Just 5 minutes away lies the more secluded Spiaggia Ira, whilst a 10-minute drive takes you to the fishing-town charm of Golfo Aranci, famous for its resident bottlenose dolphins. To navigate these scenic coastal roads, we suggest a Mercedes A-Class for refined comfort or a nimble Fiat Panda to easily manage local parking.
