Funtanazza's beach

 Address: 09031 Arbus (VS)

Funtanazza is a ravishing place immersed in the green pinewood that surrounds it.

The beach is golden and the water is shallow ideal for children’s plays. In the recent past, Montevecchio miners’ children went there to spend some days at the home holidays “Casa al Mare Francesco Sartori”. Nowadays, the building needs to be restored. The sea is clear and blue with high cliffs on its sides and beautiful shallows, excellent place for diving.

In the wide pinewood it is possible to have picnics and the car park is free. The beach is reachable from the ss126 following the indication  Marina di Arbus until the old home-holiday.
