If the wind is blowing from the north-west, the most exposed beaches will be those situated to the south-east, whilst if the wind is blowing from the south-east, the most exposed beaches will be those situated to the north-west.<\/p>\n Here is an example:<\/p>\n If the wind is blowing from the north-west, Pittulongu beach, which lies south-east of Olbia, is a good choice.<\/strong> This beach is sheltered from the mistral by a small peninsula and a series of dunes.
