Flumini: Discover the coast, Su Pau and historic sites

Flumini lies on the southeast coast of Sardinia, at the eastern end of the Gulf of Angels. Its seaside location and the variety of attractions in the surrounding area give you several ways to plan your trip: beaches and coastal walks, the Su Pau River, and traces of different historical periods. If you’re looking for hotels in Flumini, you can start by choosing according to your interests.

Beach and River Landscape

Flumini Beach is known for its fine white sand, clear water and broad, clean shoreline. Only a small amount of Posidonia seagrass washes ashore; conditions along the shore can vary with the seasons. Long walks along the shore near the river mouth are one way to experience the coast on foot.

The Su Pau River runs through Flumini di Quartu. It is about nine kilometres long and rises from streams originating on the peaks of the Sette Fratelli mountain range. Organised walking and horseback excursions are offered along the river. They pass sandy beaches, rocks and dense vegetation. If you plan to take one of these tours, check current dates and providers.

Practical information can also help with planning: public toilets are available to users of the green space at Parco Parodi. If this is important for your visit, check the current arrangements in advance, as operating details may change.

Nuraghe and Coastal History

Nearby in Is Mortorius, Nuraghe Diana stands on the hill of Is Mortorius, about 150 metres from the sea. The former Carlo Faldi coastal battery was built on the coast of Flumini di Quartu to protect the Gulf of Cagliari from attacks from the sea. The two sites offer insights into different historical themes: a nuraghe on a hill and a coastal installation built for military defence.

Another artistic detail can be found in the Church of Santa Maria degli Angeli: it features an original depiction of the Madonna, surrounded by angels and golden stars.

Festivals and Local Events

The feast of Sant'Andrea is celebrated in December at the Church of Sant'Andrea in Flumini. The feast of San Giovanni takes place on 24 June and on the last Sunday in July. The schedule may vary from year to year; if you’re travelling for a festival, check the dates for your travel year.

The Sagra del Maialetto is a Sardinian food festival in Flumini. Its fourth edition took place on Saturday, 1 August 2026. This date refers to that edition; for other travel years, check the festival dates in effect at the time.

Walk or Diving Destination

In the nearby area of Sant'Andrea, you can reach the remains of a Roman villa after a 45- to 60-minute walk along the waterline. Access may depend on beach conditions. This time range offers a practical guide for the walk without assuming a particular starting point.

For those interested in diving, there’s another point of interest near Is Mortorius: the wreck of the Romagna, a cargo ship from the Second World War, lies offshore. The wreck makes Is Mortorius a popular destination for diving enthusiasts. Check current options and conditions before making specific plans.
