Cala d’Ostia is found in the locality of Santa Margherita in the
municipal area of Pula. The beach is made up of a base of light coloured
sand mixed with gravel, and has rocks and stones of various sizes, with
water that becomes quite deep. It is a small bay characterised by
splendid tonalities of the sea and by rich plant life: posidonia,
eucalyptuses and wild pines, all watched over by a nineteenth-century
lookout tower built near the ruins of another built in the Spanish
epoch.
The beach is found in the vicinity of the archaeological zone of Nora, a
town founded by the Phoenicians between the 9th and 8th century B.C.,
the oldest - it seems - in Sardinia. The archaeological area is found at
the foot of the promontory of Capo di Pula; many treasures remain
visible in the site; the mosaics, the town lay-out with thermal baths,
temples and a theatre of the Roman era.
