Coccorrocci beach

The musical coastline of Sardinia

Coccorrocci (Coccorrocci) is a place of unique beauty in Sardinia. This stunning beach proudly boasts two epithets that are unusual for a beach: musical and colorful.

Beach description

The coastline of Coccorrocci beach is adorned with fine shingle - a medley of crushed gravel in various colors - creating a mosaic of hues that dazzle the eye. This unique feature has earned the beach its affectionate nickname, "musical." As the waves caress the shore, the pebbles begin to rustle and rattle, weaving a melodious symphony of natural sounds. Remarkably, the rocks, both along the coast and within the sea, are smooth and rounded, ensuring a safe experience without the need for special footwear. While swimming in the deeper waters, one might occasionally encounter jellyfish. The beach primarily attracts young couples and families with children, thanks to the warm sea, gentle sloping entry, and the depth that increases gradually, making it a safe haven for all ages.

The peak season at Coccorrocci beach spans from July to October, with the warmest weather occurring in August and September, drawing in a multitude of tourists. Access to the beach is convenient by car, with a spacious parking lot available along the coastline. However, it is important to note that public transport does not service this area.

When is it better to go

The best time to visit Sardinia for a beach vacation is typically during the summer months, when the island's climate is at its most inviting. However, the ideal period can vary depending on your preferences for weather, crowds, and activities.

  • June to August: This is the peak season for beachgoers. The weather is hot and sunny, perfect for swimming and sunbathing. However, these months also see the largest crowds and highest prices.
  • May and September: For those seeking a balance between pleasant weather and fewer tourists, the shoulder months of May and September are ideal. The temperatures are warm but not scorching, and the sea remains comfortable for swimming.
  • October to April: While off-season travel can offer solitude and lower prices, the weather is often too cool for traditional beach activities. However, this period is great for those interested in exploring Sardinia's cultural sites without the summer heat.

In conclusion, if a classic beach vacation is what you're after, aim for the period between late May and early September. For the warmest water and most vibrant beach life, July and August are your best bet, but be prepared for the crowds.
