Li Cossi is one of Sardinia's most enchanting beaches, and one of its best known. It is set in a protected cove among boulders like a sandy amphitheater - it is a breathtaking setting. The granite rocks give way to native scrub above.

The fine golden sand and red rocks contrast against the cobalt sea. It is a beautiful spot, reachable from the village of Costa Paradiso. Other coves can be hiked to from Li Cossi for those who don't mind scrambling over the rocks to reach hidden, solitary spots.

There are some vendors who rent umbrellas and chairs, along with pedal boats. There is a cafe and snack bar.
