# Cala Brandinchi: booking, parking and access > The 1 June-30 September 2026 booking window has ended and does not prove that access is now free or unrestricted. Confirm the next season on santeodorospiagge.it before planning a visit; the details below describe the 2026 rules. - Canonical HTML: [https://findsardinia.com/en/guides/cala-brandinchi-booking-parking-and-access]() - Markdown version: [https://findsardinia.com/en/guides/cala-brandinchi-booking-parking-and-access.md]() - Locale: `en` - Published: 2026-08-20T00:00:00.000Z - Reviewed: 2026-10-03T00:00:00.000Z - Updated: 2026-10-03T20:55:18.068Z From 1 June to 30 September 2026, access to Cala Brandinchi is regulated: book only through the official website or San Teodoro Spiagge app and keep your QR code. ## The 2026 window has ended The regulated window cited on this page ran from 1 June to 30 September 2026 and has now ended. It does not prove that access outside that period is free or unrestricted: confirm the next season on the [official channel]() before you travel. The booking, QR, parking and period details below are kept as 2026 context. ## When booking was required From 1 June to 30 September 2026 access was regulated and booking was mandatory, including for transit by land or sea. That window has ended, so check the next season on the official channel instead of assuming the same dates or open access. ## When bookings opened in 2026 In 2026, daily bookings opened at 18:00 for the day after next, and a virtual waiting room did not reserve a place. The next season is unconfirmed, so no part of that process should be assumed for a future visit. ## QR and exempt categories in 2026 In 2026, after confirmation you received a QR code to show at the entrance, and booking was required even for categories exempt from the environmental contribution. Keep these details as 2026 context. ## Parking: separate costs in 2026 In 2026 the beach-access ticket did not include any parking charge, and parking had to be checked separately. Confirm the parking arrangements again for the next season. ## Preparation and beach protection In 2026, visitors were asked to bring water, sunscreen, a hat and suitable shade, and to keep vegetation clear and follow signs and boundaries. Re-check the current season’s notices before relying on the same arrangements. ## Middle of the day Take water, sunscreen, a hat and suitable shade. Check available facilities before arrival. Keep vegetation clear and follow signs and boundaries, especially in the more sensitive areas close to the beach. ## Plan a real alternative San Teodoro, Porto San Paolo and Budoni remain the practical bases for reaching the beach and planning the evening; verify accommodation and services for the season and dates you travel. ## Recommended base San Teodoro simplifies the beach journey and evening plans. Porto San Paolo and Budoni provide alternatives in a wider itinerary. Compare accommodation across several days rather than only its distance from Cala Brandinchi. ## Final check before leaving Before visiting, check the official channel for the applicable period, restrictions and booking conditions on your date. If a booking is required, keep the confirmation and documents requested by the current instructions. Check parking access and costs separately. Take water and sun protection, and leave room in the itinerary for changes. If a booking is invalid or no place is available, do not try to enter from a neighbouring beach or from the sea; reorganise the day using the official updates. ## Sources - [SardegnaTurismo — Regione Sardegna]() — accessed 2026-08-20T00:00:00.000Z - [San Teodoro Turismo]() — accessed 2026-09-22T00:00:00.000Z - [Comune di San Teodoro]() — accessed 2026-09-22T00:00:00.000Z
