Beach·Sheltered, Scenic, Busy
Located in the stunning Notteri region of Sardinia, Spiaggia del Riso is a compact yet beautiful beach characterized by its sheltered position near the harbor. This protection results in calmer waters compared to nearby beaches, making it a preferred spot for a relaxed swim or snorkeling. Visitors can enjoy a mix of sandy stretches and a rocky shoreline dotted with large, sea-polished boulders that create a unique coastal aesthetic. For those seeking a bit of adventure, a walk along the rocks reveals smaller, more secluded spots tucked away from the main area. While it can get crowded during peak times, its proximity to local amenities like camping facilities and a small eatery makes it a convenient and noteworthy stop on a southern Sardinian itinerary.

Spiaggia del Riso is generally well-regarded for its beautiful scenery and sheltered location, which provides calmer waters than many other beaches in the Notteri area. Reviewers frequently mention the unique landscape, featuring sandy areas interspersed with large, sea-polished boulders and rocky outcrops. While the beach is described as small and charming, many visitors note that it can become very crowded and busy, especially during the high season. Some guests recommend exploring the nearby rocks to find smaller, less populated spots or walking to adjacent coves. There are mentions of a nearby campsite and a small restaurant on-site, though opinions on the service at the eatery are mixed, with some finding it lacking. Overall, it is seen as a great spot for a quick swim or as a base for exploring the wider southern Sardinian coastline.
