La Cinta: A Kilometres-Long Sandy Beach Near San Teodoro
About five kilometres of bright, wide sandy beach right on the edge of San Teodoro – with a flamingo lagoon behind it. La Cinta is one of the most accessible dream beaches in the island's northeast.
Location & getting there
The beach borders San Teodoro directly and is walkable from the town centre – unusually convenient for a beach of this quality. Several car parks line the access road.
The lagoon behind it
Between the beach and the town lies the Stagno di San Teodoro, a lagoon where flamingos can regularly be spotted. A short walk along the transition between beach and lagoon is worthwhile even outside swimming hours.
Infrastructure
San Teodoro offers plenty of restaurants, bars, and accommodation close to the beach – handy for anyone who isn't after a remote beach but wants to combine swimming with easy access to a town.
