Beach Beds and Umbrellas
In Alghero - as on many Italian beaches - there are many “private” areas of the beach that are roped off where you have to hire or rent sun loungers and umbrellas by the day. In Alghero the going rate was €15 a day for two beds and an umbrella . They get booked up very early in the high season and at weekends - you may need to book a couple of days in advance. I think you migh get a a discount if you book a whole week in one go.
Included in the price is use of the toilets and showers and access to things like air beds and other inflatables and toys for the kids.
You could always buy an umbrella and a couple of deck chairs and sit on the public beach areas - but hey - your’e on holiday - why not treat yourself?
