Santa Lucia is part of the municipality of Siniscola (NU) in Sardinia (Italy). It is a seaside village with two beaches and surrounded by a pine forest planted in the 30s. There is a tower that was probably built in the XVII century.
The village was populated by fishermen from the island of Ponza.
A 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.[1]
The village and the beaches in 1971 were the main locations of the film Le lys de mer, starring actress Carole André.[2]
The beach
The main beach is characterized by clear water, rocks and pebbles and is bordered by pinewood. The coastline is covered by junipers and lentisks. There are a number of rocky coves with shallow floors.[3]
