Wonderful scenery, excellent location, worth it. Gravel parking area.Translating
A very nice and clean place on private property. It is quiet and peaceful here (at least at this time of year), and the views are beautiful. Parking the motorhome costs €15. Payment is very convenient—a sign with a QR code at the entrance directs you to a payment app. A big plus for the availability of recycling bins. Recommended!Translating
Gravel parking area, not even entirely level, with no services of any kind but campsite prices!! Avoid it so as not to support this fraudulent management!Translating
The place is charming, but the parking fee is truly excessive. From 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., €15 to park on a poorly maintained gravel surface without any services. I cannot recommend it solely because of the cost.Translating
Simply a rip-off! In December we would have paid €24 for our camper (€15 from 8 a.m. to 8 a.m., plus €9 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.). For a parking lot without a toilet or shower! We will spend our money elsewhere.Translating
It is a beautiful beach and, due to the somewhat winding approach, usually very quiet. A gravel parking area in the middle of nowhere. :-) We are here with a large motorhome, 8.60 m long and weighing 5.5 tonnes, and even that is manageable. The beach is worth it, and so is the starry sky at night. There is no infrastructure. You pay €15 via QR code for 24 hours. It is worth it! We come here every year.Translating
Absolutely unprofessional, a rip-off. Please do yourself a favor and drive somewhere else.Translating
Unfortunately, the operator now charges arbitrary rip-off prices. No longer recommended. It is a shame that this is tolerated.Translating
Once a paradise, now just a rip-off. Since 2025 it has deteriorated further: twice within 24 hours you are expected to pay €15 (= €30 per day!), collected by bad-tempered employees. The number of campers decreases every year. In addition, the place is extremely neglected, with lots of rubbish in the dunes (in the WWF reserve!). I will only return when the operators offer reasonable prices.Translating
Magnificent location as far as the beach is concerned. On the other hand, the service is zero. €15 for the night, why not, but being charged an additional €15 from 8 a.m. is scandalous and verges on extortion. It is not normal!!!Translating
Gravel parking only, no services, no shade. On September 21 they ask €5 for the night and €15 for the day, from 8 to 8. Otherwise, a very quiet night. Very convenient parking for reaching the beach. The walkway down is very steep and has steps, making it difficult for a wheelchair.Translating
By far one of the best places for wild camping, and an absolutely dream beach. The parking attendant is very friendly, but at 8 a.m. he knocks on everyone’s door and checks the tickets. We will come back.Translating
The road to get there is narrow and unpaved, and quite challenging. The parking area is in full sun, and to reach the beach there are 80 steps. The beach may be beautiful, but it is rather inconvenient, at least for me.Translating
The beach is beautiful, the water crystal clear, and the parking area okay. Bins are available, and that is all. There is an older gentleman working as the parking attendant who speaks a little German and smiles a lot. However, at exactly 8 a.m. he knocks loudly on the van and wants to see the ticket purchased the previous day—absolutely ridiculous. He wanted €25 for one night. I only paid €15, which was fine.Translating
We slept here for one night. In the morning, a very friendly gentleman came by to check the ticket: €15 until the following day. Quiet and safe. There are no services except two chemical toilets belonging to the beach club, but the parking attendant has the keys. The beach is very beautiful.Translating
The dunes are full of toilet paper. For 15 euros a night, the operator should really have a toilet. Do me a favour and save the nature folks!Translating
Parking for Scivu beach. Not completely level, but leveling blocks can be used. You can sleep here by paying €15 instead of €10. In the evening, when the parking area empties, you can eat outside with a table. No shade. Wonderful beach. Access involves a bit of gravel road but is manageable for any vehicle. To reach the beach, you have to descend a staircase, but it is worth it. No water or waste disposal. Rubbish bins available.Translating
The parking lot is large. You pay €15 from 8 AM to 8 PM. At night, it's free. The beach is very beautiful with few people. Those who complain that the parking isn't level should rather go to a campsite. It's possible to find a flat spot to park. The road to get here is fine. If someone isn't capable of driving their motorhome, they should probably sell it and stay at home. Regards :)Translating
Simply ridiculous. €30 for 24 hours without the slightest service and not even on level ground. Considering it is also 40 minutes from the main road to get there... absurd! Bye-bye Scivu.Translating
I am Sardinian and we often go to Scivu for the weekend. However, the new parking management has inevitably driven campers away. In previous years, in the middle of July, there were 40–50 campers; now there are fewer than 10. The reason is the cost: €15 for the day and €15 for the night. If you arrive after 8 a.m., it costs €15 until 8 a.m. the following day. Twenty-four-hour rates for campers are recommended.Translating
We spent a quiet night here with a beautiful sunset. It is a gravel parking area where overnight stays are allowed. €16/24 hours, €8/day, €8/night. From 8:00 a.m. they immediately charge again! There is no water supply or electricity. There are two toilet huts; the key is available at the beach bar below. Extending the awning is forbidden. Tables and chairs are tolerated.Translating
Scivu is an extraordinary place that deserves to be visited several times in a lifetime. We came back this year, but now the night also costs €15. You have to enter after 8 p.m.; otherwise you pay €9, and at 8 in the morning they knock rudely for the other €15/day. In summary, a little more than 24 hours costs €39 for a sloping gravel parking area without services. We chose to boycott it and went to Piscinas for €15/24 hours!!!Translating
The beach is fantastic. The parking area is the worst I have ever stayed at and the most expensive (€15). It is not level. At 8 a.m. the guard wakes you by knocking on the motorhome door so you will pay. The people managing it are very unpleasant. At Piscinas the system is better, so you can rest if you stay; the guards are more respectful, it is better monitored, and you pay less.Translating
The pitch offers no services: no showers, no toilets, no electrical hookup, and no possibility of filling or emptying tanks. Just a simple gravel area, sunny, dusty, and without a single square metre of level ground, but with campsite-level prices. I paid, but after seeing that it was impossible to park anywhere even remotely level, I left. July 2025.Translating
Great beach! Really recommended, but the parking area is a car park without shade. No view of the beach, only of the sea. At €25, it is a bit steep. No shower or anything similar. I did not see any disposal facilities. Much too hot now in June.Translating
Beautiful sunset in an extremely peaceful atmosphere (only a few campers stayed overnight in mid-June). The parking area is gravel. Waste disposal is possible; the toilets were not yet open at that time. There were relatively few day visitors at the beach, which is reached via a long wooden staircase. Nice bar at the beach serving drinks and snacks. Leveling blocks are necessary.Translating
I agree with all the positive comments. When approaching, note that coming from the south (Portixeddu), you drive about 6 km of gravel road over the mountain on Strada di Santa Giusta. With our 6.4 m panel van it was manageable, but somewhat adventurous. Alternatively, you can take the Strada Comunale from the north, which is much more relaxed. The journey is definitely worth it.Translating
Wonderful. Its beauty lies in its wild nature. During the day, crystal-clear sea and a very long beach; in the evening, a romantic sunset; and at night, an unparalleled starry sky. A pity that some people afraid of the dark leave their camper lights on, disturbing stargazing.Translating
