LA COSTA<br />

Dimmi di che spiaggia sei<br />

Lungo i 25 chilometri di costa del territorio<br />

di <strong>Palau</strong> sono 21 le spiagge<br />

piccole e grandi che si offrono al visitatore,<br />

ciascuna con caratteristiche<br />

diverse. La maggior parte sono facilmente<br />

raggiungibili. Chi vuole invece la spiaggia<br />

esclusiva deve impegnarsi un po’ per conquistarla,<br />

ma ne vale sempre la pena. Nel<br />

Golfo delle Saline ci sono ben 4 spiagge:<br />

quella delle Saline, quella degli Svedesi,<br />

Vena Longa (Porto Mannu) e Cala Capra.<br />

Nei pressi della cittadina, le spiagge di<br />

Punta Nera e dell’Isolotto sono facilmente<br />

raggiungibili, come sull’altro versante<br />

quelle di <strong>Palau</strong> Vecchio e Porto Faro.<br />

Seguendo il litorale si trova poi la spiaggia<br />

di La Galatea, mentre la spiaggia di <strong>Palau</strong><br />

per antonomasia è quella della Sciumara al<br />

fondo della rada di Mezzo Schifo: questo<br />

TELL ME HOW YOUR BEACH<br />

SHOULD BE<br />

Along the 25 kilometres of coast<br />

present throughout the <strong>Palau</strong> territory,<br />

23 beaches ranging from large to small<br />

are at the visitor’s disposal, each completely different<br />

from the next. Some are better suited for<br />

those who wish to have access to all types of<br />

commodity without having to lift a finger. On<br />

the contrary, those seeking an exclusive beach<br />

will have to toil a little to reach it, although it<br />

will have been well worth the trouble. The<br />

“Golfo delle Saline” comprises 3 different<br />

beaches: Vena Longa (Porto Mannu), the beach<br />

of the Capo d’Orso camp site and Cala Capra.<br />

Nearer to the town the beaches of Punta Nera<br />

and Isolotto are within easy reach, as are those<br />

of <strong>Palau</strong> Vecchio and Porto Faro on the other<br />

side. Proceeding along the coast you come to the<br />

beach of La Galatea, whilst the beach conventionally<br />

thought of as the beach of <strong>Palau</strong> is that<br />

of Sciumara situated at the end of the Mezzo<br />

Schifo roadstead. The term “Mezzo Schifo”<br />

(repugnance) was not used to convey the meaning<br />

of disgust, but rather recalls an ancient<br />

type of sea craft used in assisting the large ships<br />

and can likely be dated back to the presence in<br />

the roadstead during the Nineteenth century of<br />

the English fleet led by Admiral Nelson. The<br />

same applies to the bay of Cala Inglese (English
