Lido di San Giovanni

The long beach on the seafront closest to the port and city center of Alghero is declared off limits this summer. It is attributed to the sewage (origin of the ban on swimming).
This beach has been declared unclean and unsafe for swimming. Many tourists find it conveniently located across from their hotels and you will still see people in the water, but please be warned!
You can sunbathe, but the waters are being tested as people are getting sick with the rota virus.
The stretch of beach is usually covered in algae that collects from the water (this is where Alghero got its name)! The sand is usually always wet.
It’s still nice to take a walk along the beach in the mornings or take a nice lunch and have a picnic. A great place to watch the sunsets in the summer months!
