The harbour - a modern constructionis quite visible from Balai beach.
There are two kinds of harbour: the
tourist port is in the town, near the
centre; the other port is situated in the
industrial zone where big ships dock.
Porto Torres is very interesting town able to capture the
attention of its visitors. Balai is a big beach. You can
choose among the sand or rocks and from these you can
dive. Here, in summer lots tourists arrive. A very
famous rock is “Rocca Manna”. Near this rock there
are other beaches like “Scoglio Ricco”, especially rocky,
and “Ponte”, where you can find a flatter area to put
your towels.
Balai beach is situated in the outskirts of the town,
along the road that leads to Platamona.

Balai beach is famous also because there is
an ancient church. Inside it you can find a
rocky cript where, during the “Festa
Grande”, in the first week of June, the three
martyrs (Gavino, Proto and Gianuario) are
brought there from “S. Gavino basilica”.

Scoglio Lungo beach is nearby the
centre.
Scoglio Lungo is a long beach as the
name suffuses and in winter is
covered by a lot of seaweed.
The Acque Dolci is the whole of some
beaches built artificially by human.
Even if are artificial they are also
charming.
In Porto Torres there is a wonderful sea front, especially in summer night when is
all lights are up. Sea front starts from the harbour to Balai and we can travel
along all this thanks to the spacious walk.
