With over 1800km of unspoilt coastline, Sardinia is renowned for beautiful beaches and the clearest translucent azure blue sea in the Mediterranean.

Being the second largest island in the Mediterranean, the coastline varies enormously from north to south and east to west. However, wherever you are in Sardinia, there will be a stunning coastline with beautiful bays and beaches to discover, from the famous Costa Smeralda stretching for 55km in the north east, to the unspoilt south coast with many deserted beaches and Caribbean-like turquoise sea.

“Sardinia has some of the world’s most idyllic beaches. Mile upon mile of pearly-white sands dip into waters of dazzling shades of aquamarine and emerald green. Elsewhere, rugged cliffs plunge into the sea and tiny coves and picturesque harbours beg to be explored. The waters really are swimming-pool-blue – and the sandy coves are often deserted.”
‘Best Beaches in Sardinia’

Boat Trips
This is the best way to see the islands, coves and grottos off the coast of Sardinia. Don’t miss the uninhabited islands of the Archipelago of Maddalena, the opportunity of visiting Corsica and Lavezzi Island, the stunning Grotto di Bue Marina near Cala Gonone or the little isles of Cavoli and Serpentara with a wealth of marine life lying off Villasimius in the south east.
