The beach of Platamona, in Sorso in the province of Sassari, is composed of white sand and shells carried by the sea currents. Its length is about 15 kilometers while the width is very variable from 10 to 30 meters. In many places there are still many dunes and there is also a pine forest, with numerous indigenous cypresses. Like all the beaches in the area, this is also a location much appreciated by gay tourists who come on holiday in Sardinia, as well as by the locals and the Lgbt community of Sassari.

The beach of Platamona is located between the fourth and fifth comb (so are called the public beaches of the area). The depths of the coast are mostly sandy, populated by fish of various sizes. Platamona is regularly connected to major neighboring centers (Sassari, Porto Torres, Sorso) by interurban public transport lines, as for example from ATP Sassari. For this reason it is easy to reach the beach by public transport if you do not have your own car.
