Spiaggia del Principe
A fine white sand beach in the Romazzino area of the Costa Smeralda, shaped as an arc split in two by a small outcrop of pink granite. Its old name, Poltu di li Cogghj, means port of hides; the current name comes from the Aga Khan, who chose it for a villa that was never built.

Getting in
- Access
- The beach is reached on a winding unpaved path, and the comune says this makes it unsuitable for people with disabilities. It faces south-east and is sheltered from north and west winds, according to the comune. No animals on the beach. Arzachena bans smoking on all beaches outside signed smoking areas (ordinance 22/2019), single-use plastic and stopping on the dunes; taking sand, pebbles or shells is banned and fined under regional rules.
- Parking
- Paid car park (Comune di Arzachena).
- Public transport
- Not served by the comune's Lu Pustali bus; the nearest stop is Capriccioli, then a long walk (Comune di Arzachena).
