Beaches in Sardinia

Sardinia's spectacular coastline, with its white sand beaches and crystal-clear emerald water, is some of the best that the Mediterranean has to offer.

A good range of watersports is available on most coasts during summer, including waterskiing and windsurfing. Porto Pollo, near Palau in the north is a favourite spot for surfers and also the place for kite-surfing. Sailing is another popular pursuit, particularly around Alghero, the Costa del Sud, the Costa Smeralda and the Maddalena archipelago, however most will have to make do with joining a group with a full crew. Sardinia is also one of the Mediterranean's best locations for diving and there are local outfits offering tuition and excursions with full equipment provided.
