User:EntincingWithy/Santa Lucia (Siniscola)

Santa Lucia is a fraction of the municipality of Siniscola (NU) in Sardinia (Italy). It's a seaside village with two beautiful beaches and completely surrounded by a pine forest planted in the thirties of the twentieth century. There is a tower that was probably built in the XVII century.

The village was populated by fishermen from the island of Ponza.

A new regulatory plan involves the destruction of about 6 hectares of the pine forest for the construction of hotels and various services. There is currently a strong movement against the regulatory plan, with also judicial initiatives.The village and the beaches in 1971 were the main locations of the film Le lys de mer, starring actress Carole André.

The beach
The main beach is characterized by a crystal clear water, rocks and pebbles and it's bordered by a luxuriant pinewood. The coastline is covered by junipers and lentisks. There are a lot of rocky coves with shallow floors. It's an ideal place for surfing and scuba diving.
