SEA AND NATURE
HILL AND PLAIN
The cultivated lands seem to draw a landscape through the variation of colors and geometric shapes.
The hills are covered with mediterranean scents of Carignano grapes, mirto, juniper, rockrose, broom, strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo).
The intense smell of the sea mixes with the fragrance of native plants like Juniper and Aleppo pine.
THE SEA
Is Solinas is one of the longest beach in the south west of Sardinia as the sandy shore expands for one chilometer all the way up to the Gulf of Palmas.
Due to the Isle of Sant’Antioco position, the beach is well preserved from strong winds and it’s the ideal beach for spending an entire day with friends and family.
WETLANDS
Not far from the town center and just before the sea, the ponds of Baiocca and Porto Botte gained the official recognition as Sites of Community Interest (SCI) by European community.
Their habitat is rich of vegetable and animal spieces, it is an ideal area for trekking and birdwatching, here you can spot herons, the black-winged stilt, swamp-hawks and the fancy pink flamingos.
There are many mammals living the area as well, such as foxes, wild rabbits, hares, martens and weasels.
