S'Archittu is a small coastal tourist resort near Oristano, located within the municipality of Cuglieri. The locality takes its name from the rock arch, S'Archittu, which encloses the beach. Visitors can reach the site easily by walking via a footway.
The arch stands about 17 metres high and is the result of marine erosion of an ancient cave formed in the limestone. During the summer, the arch is illuminated at night. The top of the arch is used for sea diving and was the location of one event in the 2001 High Dive World Championship.
Approximately 1 km to the south of S'Archittu is the site of Torre del Pozzo, which translates to "The Well's Tower."
