These themes open up different possibilities for the rhythm of your days.
The beach and the names of the coast
The beach Spiaggia di Portixeddu is located in the immediate vicinity of Portixeddu. It is also known as Rio Mannu and is divided into two sections by the mouth of the Rio Mannu River. The two-part beach area gives the coastal landscape a clear geographical reference, without requiring any additional classification.
Pine forest and other landscape destinations
The pine forest of Portixeddu lies within the Is Compinxius – Campo Dunale di Buggerru – Portixeddu SIC area (code ITB042247). The mountain Punta de su Guardianu is also located in the immediate vicinity of Portixeddu. The beach Spiaggia di Buggerru is likewise nearby; the beach of Scivu is located in the surrounding area of Portixeddu. Thus, the pine forest, mountain and other beaches are among the different landscape features around the town.
Cammino Minerario di Santa Barbara
The coastal stage of the Cammino Minerario di Santa Barbara leads from Buggerru along the provincial road SP83 towards Portixeddu. In strong winds or heavy seas, the fifth stage of the Cammino Minerario di Santa Barbara recommends an inland alternative that avoids the beach and leads directly to the Posada di Pitzinurri. The alternative does not pass the beaches of Scivu and Piscinas; it is also preferred during Mistral winds and sea storms. The weather conditions therefore play a specific role in your planning for this section of the route.
The Posada di Portixeddu has 24 sleeping places in shared rooms.
Culture between museum and viewpoint

The historic site of Galleria Henry and the Museo delle macchine da miniera museum are also located in the surrounding area.
