Stintino was originally formed from the Asinara , it began life as a Lazzaretto colony and then a Penal Colony. Today it has a reputation of being one of the finest bathing resorts on the Northern Sardinian coast. The only way to travel to Stintino is via boat. Before arriving in the town one can admire the pool of Casaraccio, a natural site of an important heritage.

Sights to see include the area which has developed around the old port, which still preserves the ancient heart of the original village. Other sights not to be missed include the Museum of the Tonnara. The coast of Stintino is a much sought after bathing area with deep crystal clear waters perfect for swimming.

The most popular beach is, undoubtedly, that of the Pelosa, close to which one finds the Tower of Piana Island, which takes its name from the islet on which it stands.
