Golfo di Oristano si trova tra Capo Frasca e Capo San Marco, 5,5 MN a NNW.

Il Golfo offre spiagge sabbiose alla bassa profondita e con un dolce pendio. In alcuni luoghi, ci sono dune di sabbia bianca con macchie di vegetazione e di ampie lagune e paludi.
A  spiagge sabbiose si alternano coste frastagliate e falesie estreme, tutte battute dal maestrale che fa di questo tratto di mare uno tra i luoghi più ambiti per il surf nell'isola.
