Rena Bianca Beach in Santa Teresa Gallura — webcam online

Santa Teresa Gallura in northern Sardinia is famous for its beaches, but Rena Bianca stands apart. This online webcam opens a view of the legendary shore, where the sand seems unnaturally white, and the French island is visible on the horizon.

White sand and pink reflections: why Rena Bianca is called that

The name "Rena Bianca" translates from Italian as "white sand" — the name directly reflects the color of the local beach. The sand of Rena Bianca beach is fine, soft, white, with pink reflections on the coastline thanks to microscopic coral fragments. The sand contains small grains of quartzite that give it its white color, and the pink hue is due to microscopic coral particles.

View of Corsica: geographical location of Santa Teresa Gallura

Santa Teresa Gallura is the closest Sardinian town to Corsica; on clear days Corsica can easily be seen from Rena Bianca beach. The town of Santa Teresa Gallura itself was formed relatively recently — in the early 19th century, in 1808.

Longosardo Tower: guardian of the Sardinian coast

The Longosardo Tower was built around the 16th century by order of Spanish King Philip II. This is probably the largest tower in Gallura and the most imposing of those built on the island by the Spanish crown. The Longosardo Tower is one of the main symbols of Santa Teresa Gallura along with Rena Bianca Beach, on which it towers. The tower is built from materials of a medieval castle and is in a dominant position to guard the western shore of the harbor. From the terrace of the Longosardo Tower, there is a view of Corsica (a viewing magnifying device is used for a better view).
