The best beaches in Sardinia

Porto Cervo: socialites and hidden coves

Porto Cervo is synonymous with luxury, but also with unspoiled nature. Just a few minutes away from the center is enough to discover beaches that keep the authentic charm of the Emerald Coast intact.

• Pevero Beach: Enclosed by low hills covered in Mediterranean scrub, this beach offers fine sand, turquoise-hued water and an open panorama of the sea. The shallow waters and tranquility also make it ideal for family travelers.
  
• Capriccioli: its sheltered coves, interspersed with smooth rocks and scented by junipers, create perfect corners of silence even in the busiest months.
  
• Liscia Ruja: is one of the most extensive on the Emerald Coast. A tongue of sand that alternates between equipped areas and completely free stretches, where the sea remains the absolute protagonist. Ideal for those seeking space, nature and a relaxed atmosphere.

Ideal for a day of relaxation and snorkeling, these beaches are also perfect for an off-season getaway.

Villa Alba: a hidden gem

Lesser known but surprising, Villa Alba is the perfect spot for those who like to explore without the crowds.

• White Beach: the name says it all. Very clear sand, transparent sea and an intimate atmosphere. Also great for children.
  
• Cala Sassari: a small cove to be reached by a short walk. The landscape is wild and the sea has an extraordinary transparency. Take your mask and snorkel with you: the seabed here really deserves it.

There is a slower pace here: ideal if you are looking for an authentic Sardinia, off the beaten track.

Olbia: comfort and beauty at a stone's throw from the city

Olbia is one of the main ports of call in Sardinia, but a few minutes from the center opens up extraordinary natural scenery.

• Pittulongu: beach equipped with every service, perfect for families and those who like comfort. Also great for an aperitif overlooking the sea at sunset.
  
• Bados: among the most scenic in the area, it alternates between sandy stretches and shallow rocks ideal for sunbathing. The atmosphere is young and relaxed, perfect for a day without plans.
  
• The Salt Flats: long, wild, less frequented. Here the wind is often the protagonist, which is why it is popular with water sports enthusiasts. If you are looking for wide spaces and few umbrellas, this is the place to be.

Ideal for a stress-free vacation in Sardinia, Olbia makes it easy for you to get to everything without sacrificing beauty.

Golfo Aranci: dolphins and clear waters

A little corner of paradise, just a few kilometers from Olbia. Here nature is the protagonist.

• Third Beach: easily accessible, also suitable for children, with shallow waters and fine sand. Boat trips also depart from here to spot dolphins that often swim in nearby waters.
  
• Cala Moresca: one of the most beautiful beaches in Sardinia, with paths through pine trees and views of the open sea. It takes a short walk to reach it.
  
• Marinella Beach: long, equipped, perfect for a day of water sports and relaxation.

Golfo Aranci is a destination to mark if you love to combine crystal clear sea, nature and small villages to discover.
