"The walk from the car park under the pine trees is quite pleasant specially during the summer. White sand, rougher when compared with other beaches. But equally beautiful with crystal clear water.
It's quite long, very good for a walk.
Highly recommended."
Sónia Martins
"Budoni’s beach is so cute: it is a very large beach with white ‘rough’ sand.
One of the high point I give to Budoni’s beach is because there are many resort beaches and bar where you can stay. Showers are available.
Really big park is present and it is cheaper than other local places (3 euro per day).
If you feel hot, you can go to the pine forest next to the beach.
Transparent and light green/blue water completes this heavenly beach.
At Sa Capannizza beach bar you can have really good pizza at lunch time too."
