General info: 

Baia Chia with its silky sand, up to 30 meter-high white dunes and crystalline, turquoise-hued water is reminiscent of an idyllic Caribbean beach. The bay is bordered by majestic, age-old junipers and a few stone traces of the Phoenician city of Bithia whose site Baia Chia now occupies. And if it’s your lucky day, you might catch a glimpse of dolphins and, on the lake, flamingos. Chia is also a wonderful venue for windsurfers because the winds blow just the right way. On this lovely bay there is also a nice restaurant, Dune di Campana, where you can enjoy the aromatic Mediterranean maquis.

Getting there: 

The beach is located about 1,5km from center of Setti Ballas. You can walk or go by car along road Viale Spartivento to reach the beach.
