Crystal-clear waters, fine sand and the scent of Mediterranean scrub: between San Teodoro and Palau lies one of the most enchanting stretches of coastline in Sardegna. From Gallura to the gateway to the La Maddalena Archipelago Park, here are seven beaches not to be missed for a dream summer.
1. Cala Brandinchi – San Teodoro
Nicknamed ‘Tahiti’ for its tropical colours, Cala Brandinchi is a picture-postcard beach: shallow waters, pale sand and turquoise seas. Surrounded by pine and juniper trees, it’s ideal for families and those seeking peace and quiet.
2. Capo Coda Cavallo Beach – San Teodoro
A breathtaking view of Tavolara and a protected environment make Coda Cavallo Beach one of the most enchanting on the coast. The headland is also perfect for short walks and snorkelling.
3. Porto Taverna Beach – Loiri Porto San Paolo
Here, your gaze is drawn to the crystal-clear waters and the silhouette of the island of Tavolara. Porto Taverna Beach is spacious, accessible and suitable for all types of travellers, with facilities and the option to hire canoes and SUPs.
4. Spiaggia del Principe – Costa Smeralda
In the heart of the Costa Smeralda, Spiaggia del Principe is a perfect crescent nestled amongst the granite rocks. Crystal-clear water and fine sand, surrounded by unspoilt nature. One of the most iconic and frequently photographed beaches in the area.
5. Liscia Ruja Beach – Cala di Volpe
The longest beach on the Costa Smeralda, Liscia Ruja offers long stretches of sand and crystal-clear waters. Perfect for those who love walking along the shore and enjoying timeless views amidst the rocks and vegetation.
6. Rena Bianca Beach – Santa Teresa Gallura
Pure white sand and emerald-green waters make Rena Bianca one of the most beloved beaches on the northern Sardegna. Situated a stone’s throw from the historic centre of Santa Teresa, it is both convenient and picturesque.
7. Porto Pollo Beach – Palau
A paradise for those who love sport and the wind. Porto Pollo is a hotspot for windsurfing and kitesurfing, but also for those looking for a free, spacious and youthful beach. The coastline opens out on two sides, creating a unique ‘isthmus’ effect.
