Start with current rules

Municipal pages help locate dog beaches, but Olbia’s listing refers to a 2021 ordinance, which is not enough to plan for 2026. Check the current bathing ordinance and on-site signs.

Confirm boundaries, time windows, leash, animal limits and health requirements. A designated dog beach may have specific rules beside stretches with different access. Contact the tourist office when online information is not current.

Poltu Liccia: choose it if logistics fit

Poltu Liccia lies between Li Nibani and Romazzino and consists of small coves with different sand textures. Its listing shows no facilities, mentions paid parking at Romazzino and says public transport does not reach the beach.

It is therefore more practical with your own transport and for a dog comfortable with varied access and surfaces. Do not infer shade, drinking water or services from the landscape; bring what you need and check parking constraints.

La Sciumara: a stop near Cannigione

La Sciumara is a small sandy beach beside the Saloni wetland in Cannigione. The municipal listing identifies it for dogs; it lists no facilities and describes parking along the access road.

Its location can work if Cannigione is already in your plans and you want to avoid a long detour. Because it borders a wetland, stay on paths and respect signs and wildlife; keep dogs out of restricted reedbeds and habitats.

Lu Postu: check the walk and facilities

Lu Postu is a sandy beach on the road towards Baia Sardinia and appears in the municipal dog-beach listings. No facilities are listed; parking is along the road, and the bus stop involves a further walk.

The page describes a long bay with a wetland behind it. Before choosing it, check where dog access ends, the current walking route and whether parking is available during your visit period.

For a practical choice, start with Cannigione: La Sciumara can suit a short break if the village is already part of your day. Lu Postu may fit an outing towards Baia Sardinia; Poltu Liccia requires accepting an unserviced access and a walk not covered by the bus. The listings do not fully describe water, shade or trail conditions, so bring what you need. Finally verify dog rules, parking and any temporary restriction. If your animal struggles with heat or uneven surfaces, decide after discussing the route with someone who knows it.

If travelling without a car, compare the exact bus stop with the walking approach rather than relying on the beach’s broad location. Poltu Liccia’s listing notes that the nearest stop involves a long walk; the other pages also identify their own stops and routes. Confirm these with the current operator and judge whether the dog and group can manage the route both ways. Carry water because no listed facilities are available at the three sites. Choose another destination if heat, distance or the wetland edge make the plan uncomfortable.
