A long and wide beach - amenities and services
The beach is remarkably long and wide compared to many narrow beaches in Sardinia, and in its naturalness it has all the comforts one must have in order to spend an entire day in the sun and sea. The beach is free, but for those who want to use it there are two small bathing establishments that provide a range of services for a fee: deck chairs, sun beds and umbrellas.

Beware of winds
Make sure before visiting Berchida beach that there is no mistral wind on that day. If so, it is definitely best to postpone the visit so as not to be disappointed by a day that would be treacherous. Berchida is in a very open area (there are no trees but countless small shrubs) and is not sheltered by basins or small gulfs. Although the water is not immediately deep and you can walk up to 10-15 meters (for this reason also very suitable for small children and those who cannot swim) you find yourself with the open sea in front of you.

How to get there
Berchida beach is about 50 km south of Olbia (Sardinia-Italy) and is reached via the ss 125 road that passes through Siniscola and continues to Orosei. Well indicated on Google maps and car navigators, however, the beach is marked by a sign indicating the point at which to enter the dirt road to be followed to get to the parking area. The dirt road is about 4 km long and has no depressions or potholes or stones.

Of course, we are not only talking about drinking water, which is used to quench our thirst, but also the water needed for energy plants and agriculture.

It often happens, especially during adolescence, that one realizes that one is more gifted in languages than in mathematics, or vice versa. Or that one's thought processes are different from those of a friend or classmate. This aspect depends not only on personal interests, but also on the way our brains work.
In fact, the way to process information is different from person to person, but it can be grouped into some predefined categories. Some are more predisposed to creative work, others to relationships with other people, and still others can hear and understand music in a way unthinkable for others.
According to a study carried out since the 1980s by the American psychologist Howard Gardner, we have as many as nine different types of intelligence, to which the tenth would be added. These intelligences could also theoretically be linked to certain types of jobs.

The Six Degrees of Separation Theory, which assumes that each person can be connected to any other in the world through a chain of knowledge with no more than five intermediaries, is one of the most popular and suggestive social theories ever created, and may still be valid today in the age of social networking.
It was in the mid-1960s when a Harvard professor sent a letter to an unknown farmer in Nebraska, hoping that, through a completely random network of contacts, the letter would reach its true recipient in Boston.
Today, a study co-ordinated by the Institute of Complex Systems of the National Research Council in Florence (CNR-Isc) - signed by researchers from Spain, Israel, Russia, Slovenia and Chile - has shown that connections on social networks resemble those found by Milgram in the 1960s.
