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
