Beaches in Sardinia www.sardinianplaces.co.uk/beaches
Sardinia’s coastline is one of the finest in the Mediterranean and offers character through contrast – dramatic limestone mountains drop to secluded coves in the east, where the west is rich in powdery sand dunes. The north and south are abundant in glorious beaches, most gently shelving with exceptionally clean sand and shallow waters – perfect for young children.
For adults, water sports including water skiing and windsurfing are available during the summer.
