Accessible beaches in Sardinia

Accessible beaches in Sardinia: the welcoming North-East
Sardinia has always been synonymous with unspoiled beauty, but today it also represents a model of inclusiveness. More and more coastal locations are investing in infrastructure to make beaches accessible to people with reduced mobility, offering services such as walkways, dedicated parking, equipped bathrooms, and amphibious chairs (known as JOB chairs), allowing safe entry into the water.
In the North-East of the island, particularly in Gallura and the Budoni area, there are many equipped beaches that allow everyone to enjoy the crystal-clear sea and the extraordinary Sardinian coastlines.

San Teodoro:
• La Cinta
Walkways, JOB chair, reserved parking. One of the most famous beaches in Sardinia, and now also one of the most inclusive. During the season (June to September), the Municipality offers assistance services for people with motor disabilities.

Useful information
Some of these beaches are part of the “Beaches for All” project, promoted by local public authorities. During the high season, many locations offer lifeguard assistance services for people with disabilities, available by reservation.
It should be noted that the availability of JOB chairs may vary, so it is recommended to check in advance with municipal tourist offices or directly contact the beach establishments.

An opportunity to live and invest in a more accessible Sardinia
Attention to inclusiveness is not only a social value, but also an increasingly sought-after criterion for those looking to buy a home for personal use or as an income-generating investment through tourism. Choosing a location that guarantees access for all means investing in a welcoming, modern, and well-being-oriented territory. An accessible sea is a sea that belongs to everyone.
