Cea Beach
Cea beach, located between the municipalities of Bari Sardo and Tortolì, is world-famous for its red porphyry stacks rising from the turquoise water: they are the Is Scoglius Arrubius (the Red Rocks), a symbol of Ogliastra and among the most iconic images of Sardinia.
How to get there from the Domus de Janas
The beach is about a 10-minute drive from the hotel, heading north toward Tortolì. A large free parking lot is available just steps from the beach. Cycling enthusiasts can opt for a 25-minute route, pedaling through the greenery along quiet back roads.
What will you find?
Cea offers a long stretch of fine sand dotted with small shells and pink coral grains that characterize the beach, framed by a lush pine forest that provides natural shade during the hottest hours of the day. The water is crystal clear with turquoise hues, and the shallow, sandy seabed makes it suitable for families. The red sea stacks, just a few minutes’ swim away, are the main attraction.
Our advice
The best time to visit Cea is late afternoon, when the sunlight illuminates the sea stacks, creating spectacular colors.
The beach also offers a wide range of amenities: ample parking, a bar, a snack bar, and restaurants.
