PLACES TO VISIT

• Within the Palau area lies Isola dei Gabbiani, or Isuledda. Despite its name, it is not an island but a peninsula, connected to the mainland by a sandy isthmus and surrounded by the blue sea. On this strip of land lies Porto Pollo, a famous beach considered a veritable paradise for windsurfers and kitesurfers, who come from all over the world to enjoy the wind and ride the waves.
• The spectacular natural sculpture symbolising Palau is the Roccia dell’Orso (or Capo d’Orso), a work of art sculpted by the wind and designated a national monument.
• The Baragge viewpoint, situated on a hill overlooking the entire archipelago, offers a breathtaking panorama. On days with the clearest visibility, you can even see Corsica up to 40 miles to the north.
