Islands

Asinara island - lies three miles north of Stintino. There are a number of lovely anchorages on the east side of the island, sheltered from the prevailing NW winds.

Navigation

Approach is either from the east, when the large breakwater protecting the harbour will be visible some distance off, or from the west, when a yacht has the option of sailing north of Asinara island or through Passagio dei Fornelli, the narrow channel between the island and the mainland. Depths in the channel here are as little as 4 metres, so care is needed especially with any sea running from the west as the shallowest part is on the western side.

Enter the harbour between the E end of the breakwater and the red beacon/wiki/Stintino#red_beaconDanger icon red beacon [[Stintino#red beacon|red beacon]] 40°56.156'N, 008°13.946'E marking the E end of the shoal extending from the shore.

Tourism

Good beaches around the town, although the main attraction here is the Asinara nature reserve north of the town and accessible via organised boat trips. The island of Asinara is a former prisoner of war camp which became a penal colony and was used as such until 1997. Today it is a nature reserve and hosts a number of rare species, including a unique breed of albino donkey.
