Migliori spiagge in Sardegna

Best Beaches in Sardinia

Sardinia's coastline features diverse geological formations, from the quartz grains of Is Arutas to the granite cliffs of the Gulf of Orosei. This selection spans the island, including the protected pink sands of Budelli and the shallow, transparent waters of Stintino. Many locations, such as Cala Mariolu and Cala Goloritzé, are accessible only by boat or via coastal hiking trails through the Supramonte massif. Southern destinations like Su Giudeu offer expansive dunes and lagoons frequently inhabited by pink flamingos.
