From the coast of Alghero to the rocky landscapes of Castelsardo, the north-west of Sardegna offers beaches to suit every taste: wild coves, golden sands, trachyte cliffs and crystal-clear seas. Here are the most beautiful ones, to add to your itinerary for an unforgettable trip.
1. Spiaggia delle Bombarde – Alghero
Situated just north of the town, Le Bombarde is one of the most popular beaches on the Coral Riviera: light-coloured sand, crystal-clear waters and shallow seabed. Surrounded by a pine forest and easily accessible, it’s perfect for families and water sports.
2. Mugoni Beach – Alghero
Set within the Porto Conte Nature Park, Mugoni is a long, sheltered and peaceful golden beach. Its calm waters and views of Capo Caccia make it ideal for relaxing days surrounded by nature.
3. Cala Dragunara – Capo Caccia
More secluded and unspoilt, Cala Dragunara is a little gem at the foot of the Capo Caccia cliff. A starting point for excursions to the Grotte di Nettuno, it is a picturesque destination for those seeking a more private spot.
4. La Speranza – between Alghero and Bosa
An unspoilt and less crowded stretch of coastline: La Speranza is perfect for those who love the rougher side of the Mediterranean. Crystal-clear waters, smooth rocks and spectacular sunsets round off the experience.
5. Porto Ferro Beach – Sassari
Wide, wild and surrounded by dunes and Aragonese towers, Porto Ferro is famous for its intense colours and waves: it’s a popular spot for surfers. Nearby, there are also scenic footpaths and hiking trails through woods and lagoons.
6. Marina di Sorso Beach – Gulf of Asinara
One of the longest beaches in Northern Sardinia, Marina di Sorso stretches for kilometres amidst golden sand and pine forests. An excellent choice for those seeking space, comfort and accessibility.
7. Lu Bagnu Beach – Castelsardo
Just a few minutes from the historic centre of Castelsardo, Lu Bagnu is a seaside resort with sandy coves and clear waters, ideal for a break combining art and relaxation. From here, the sunset over the castle is simply priceless.
