The Tharros buoy field is located right in the area adjacent to the famous archaeological site in the municipality of Cabras, in the province of Oristano. The area possesses a very exciting setting, from the bay to the above-ground ruins that tower over the entire site, giving historical charm to the entire coastline.

Usually reached by land, however, the area is also coveted by pleasure boats coming from Torre Grande or the famous Caletta di Torre Vecchia. The extension of the ruins of Tharros territory also extends under the water.
