The beach begins where development ends—past the last apartment blocks, the coast turns wild again. Pines grow dense and gnarled here, branches twisted by sea winds, their canopy providing natural shelter. You'll walk from sandy parking areas through needle-soft paths that smell of resin and salt, emerging onto a shore that stretches farther than you can walk in an afternoon.

The sand gives softly beneath your feet, lighter than Orosei's town beach, compacting into firm walkable surface near the waterline. Waves arrive gently, their rhythm steady and predictable. The seafloor slopes gradually—you'll wade out twenty meters and still find footing. Water temperature climbs through summer, reaching bathtub warmth by late July.
Su Barone attracts families who appreciate the pine shade and space to spread out. Bring your own umbrella; services remain minimal, just a seasonal kiosk for cold drinks and panini. By late afternoon, the beach empties, leaving you with the companionship of seabirds and the particular quality of light that gilds this coast before sunset—horizontal, amber, kind to every subject it touches.
