Popular, white-sand beach featuring a wooden boardwalk, plus a parking lot & restaurants.
Pretty nice beach. Clear water. Parking for free (October) showers at the beach are not working. Almost no shadow.
Mike Sp — Google review
Absolutely worth a visit. Really unique feeling on a beach with “Rice” stones.
Also fantastic underwater experience with lots of fish to see, is like diving in a aquarium.
And yes it is crowded there, even during the week, but what to complain about, it’s summer vacation in all over Europe, so stop crying.
Jan “JanZi” Zimmermann — Google review
I think that is the best beach of the area. Got there at 7:30am and was nobody there so we had all the beach for ourselves. The water was perfect and very clean and the sand is just fabulous. Also you can see some fishes. When we left at around 11:30am was already busy. Highly recommend.
Larisa Manciu — Google review
Don't buy the hype. If you are close you can check it just to see nice small pebble sand. If you are thinking about driving from another part of an island, then let it go. There is a lot of plant matter on the beach - nobody is cleaning that. There are other nicer beaches on Sardinia. Oh, and parking is €2/h. What a ripoff.
Peska — Google review
The best beach that we have visited in Sardinia.
I give five stars for;
⭐ The Amazing view
⭐ Calm place
⭐ Romantic and charming spot
⭐ Wonderful sea, clear and clean
⭐ Reachable by car or by feet (if you book a nearby hotel)
In love with this place 😍

Lovely beach. Clear water. Gets deep quickly. Bring snorkels and also walk a bit
Eric Berberich — Google review
It's probably one of the top beaches in Sardinia. There is plenty of space, tons of parking, and beach access. The beaches keep going north and south. It has some of the best snorkeling in terms of fish and things to see.
Just know they are super serious about leaving that beach sand at the beach.
Ryan Pavlus — Google review
One of the best beaches on the west coast of the island. Not very windy, good for snorkeling.
Parking lot available at the entrance, costs about 10€ for the day.
Nemanja Spasojević — Google review
One of the best beaches I’ve ever visited. It is the beach of mini rounded stones, so called quarzo beach and this is amazing - tender but it doesn’t stick on your skin like sand. The see is great for swimming. Not too crowded in beginning of July. The parking nearby is quite expensive- 4 eur for 2 hours, however there are also other parking options.
Nataša Jeraj Kampuš — Google review
Wonderful beach with non typical “sand” looking as grains of rice which is being composed of small grains of quartz, which shades range from pink, to green, to pure white.
Pros: stretches for several kilometers, clear sea, easy reach from Oristano by bus, there are bars, free toilets and showers.
Cons: somewhere it’s to rocky seabed

Beautiful beach. The sunset, the view, the rocks, the quartz sand. The position is remarkable, this beach is so picturesque you have a feeling it is out of this world. This is one of those things you do not to miss. :)

Museo Civico Giovanni Marongiu in Cabras is a cultural gem showcasing the famous Giants of Monte Prama, towering nuraghic stone sculptures. The museum offers well-curated displays of local artifacts dating back to 3500 BCE, providing thorough explanations and insights into the region's history. Visitors can also opt for a combo ticket with access to the Tharros tower site, located about 10 km away.
A little gem of brilliance. A total must for a wonderfully curated museum. The people who work there are passionate and super well informed. Beautifully set out with plenty of explanations. Great find.

Small but nice to visit. Unfortunately a lot of the information was in Italian only which made that we didn't really understand the background of the excavation etc.
T Kolner — Google review
i like the fact that this is one of the few places in all Sardinien where you can see a little bit of good conserved history, and the history itself is super interesting! sadly a lot from the museum outside you couldn't visit, and also it's not explained a lot about the history and what is explained is old and not up to date. also if you're visiting the museum in english you don't really learn anything about it. it's really sad that there is not the possibility to get to know more of this really interesting past of Sardinien, sadly it's in all Sardinien like that.
anna — Google review
Small museum, not too far from where the giants were discovered.
Unfortunately most of the info is in Italian, and even if there are few QR codes to some info in English, it’s not exhaustive.
You could try using Google Translate camera to do the translation - I tried with limited success. It became very tedious mostly due to the necessity to read it all on the phone screen...

A nice little museum, and there is the option to pay a little more to get access to the Tharros tower site, but its 10 km away.
You can take the bus there from Oristano, they run about once per hour.

Local artifacts from the nuragic era dating from 3500 bce (!!!) onwards. Well displayed and thoroughly explained. It's a small museum but unique in its kind. Great insights about the local territory.
Marco Diamanti — Google review
A decent amount of artifacts are on display, including the giants. However, there isn't much information available in English. I would personally skip this museum for non Italian speakers.
S'Archittu, a charming tourist destination situated near Oristano and under the jurisdiction of Cuglieri municipality, is a small coastal resort that attracts visitors with its picturesque views. On day five of exploring the area, tourists can visit Putzu Idu, which is a quaint village located on the peninsula's northernmost tip. Its beach features quartz sand and offers a more secluded and tranquil experience compared to the southern beaches.
Walled castle dating from the 12th century, at the top of Serravalle Hill & accessed by stairs.
This is one of the must see places in Sardinia because you will regret it. The views from the castle are stunning and unforgettable. Necessarily!
sergiusz pawlowski — Google review
Nice view spot for sure. The city below spreads out towards the ocean. You can see the river winding through the valley. But the castle itself is fairly run down and the artifacts are not very numerous. You can climb to the top of the tower and get a great view as well.
There are some walls and buttresses that remain. But now as many as some other castles I visited.
There are probably 250 steps going up so it's a little bit of a hike. Also, there's no restroom once you get there. They have a sign that says the restroom is temporarily unavailable but the sign looks like it's about 3 years old.
james f — Google review
Really great castle! However it was incredibly hot when we visited, which made it hard to enjoy. But the outer walls, the inner walls, the chapel, the tower, the views of the town… it all makes the whole setting pretty nice. No wait for tickets and not full. Fully recommended for everybody making a stop in Bosa!

We had an ok time, but the area has a serious bee infestation and the walkways are full of glass (see pictures). I saw a young girl get seriously stung and the staff (older aged lady) were not at all interested.
Cost was €4 per person ages 6 and over.
A Grogan — Google review
We stopped at a viewpoint after maybe 90 minutes, overlooking the town of Bosa, overlooked by the Castle of Serravalle. It looked a very photogenic place with painted houses, a medieval bridge and castle on the hill. After plugging the phone back in the sat nav switched from driving to walking so after crossing said medieval bridge we were directed along a rutted path and then to a metalled road up the hillside to the castle. There was no obvious parking so we dumped the car as out of the way as we could and had a quick scoot around the place.
The castle is thirteenth century and is most famous for the fourteenth century frescoes in the church of Our Lady de Sos Regnos Altos. This was the first place with obvious tourists there and there were a couple of tour groups as well as various individuals. Hardly crowded but busier than we are used to! We were probably in the castle for 15 minutes and then got back to the car, drove down the hill following the proper instructions and passed a large car park on a proper road. Ah well. Castle of Serravalle has a complete circuit of outer walls and towers that you can climb but the keep and interior buildings are now gone.
Marcus Hurley — Google review
Amazing views from up top this look out point. Cost $5 to enter. They take bank cards upon entry. Climb the top of the tower to get the best views. There is a QR code to read about the tour. Need strong legs to climb the step paths to the top.

Historic site with fabulous views over the beautiful town of Bosa, Sardinia, Italy.
Entry is €5 for adults and €4 for children over 6 years old. The Castle is well maintained. A beautiful place to visit.
Claudia Monteiro — Google review
It is a very beautiful castle that overlooks the entire town. Although it is now declined, it allows you to imagine a castle that once flourished. There is a beautiful fresco in the castle church. I was a little disappointed that I could not climb the tower in the castle. I think it would be nice to be able to go up to the tower with more careful management.
Huykyung “Grace” Byun — Google review
I'd rather call it an observation spot or photoshoot spot - not a castle. Some old walls but with a great views. The price of 4eur it's worth it but I'd expect that if they take a money so they invest In this place. But they don't as you can see on the photo. So you just pay for possibility of seeing Bosa from above - not for sightseeing castle.
Bogdan Bauer — Google review
A mighty castle on a hill at the edge of town. A path leads to the castle through the picturesque streets of the old part of the city, but you can also access the castle from two parking lots below the castle on the west side of the city.
Nuraghe Losa is an ancient archaeological site located on a plateau, featuring a well-preserved triangular stone tower and various ruins. The massive structure, built with impressive engineering using rocks, reflects the changing cultures of its past residents. Guided tours are available to enhance the experience and provide insight into the site's historical significance.
Another landmark from the Nuragic civilization. Definitely worth seeing if it’s on your way. The viewing is short and once you climb on top of the tower you get great views.

One of the nicest nuraghi of Sardinia. For a small fee you can walk around freely. Should take you around 15-30 minutes. Ticket office workers were also nice. Went early april, and we were pretty much the only people there. Would recommend if you are in the area.

John Marquette — Google review
Highly recommended. The ticket is 5€, but it is worth it. When I went there were not many people, so we could enjoy the place walking around, the silence of the rooms and take beautiful pictures.
You can imagine how the old town was, apart from seeing the material and the illustrations in a small museum in the entrance.

Well preserved archeological site. It is a massive structure built from rocks and with some impressive engineering. It is also overlayed with a lot of different features from the changing cultures of the residents across time.

Piazza d'Italia is a bustling town square located in the heart of Sassari, featuring impressive classic architecture and several shops and restaurants. The surrounding buildings date back to the late 19th century, showcasing grandiose styles typical of Italy's post-unification era. Visitors can enjoy a variety of dining options in the square or nearby cafes, especially during evenings when the area comes alive with locals dressed in their finest attire.
Found a note on the ground In front of the main doors. I opened to find the words
"Two corks of Romano equals twice the cheese" I immediately took it to the police.
As there was an open investigation on the matter, I was called in as Lead witness and was promoted to case director. After three long weeks of trail chasing and whiskey sipping we caught them and today they are spending life in prison.
This place was worth the 18 hr flight, will return

Piazza d'Italia in Sassari, Sardinia, has won my heart with its captivating charm and lively atmosphere. I had a delightful experience here, and I'm excited to share my thoughts.
Nestled in the heart of Sassari, this picturesque square boasts a wonderful selection of restaurants, offering a diverse culinary experience that caters to all tastes. From traditional Italian dishes to international cuisines, you'll find something to satisfy your cravings. The variety of dining options nearby is definitely a big plus!
What truly sets Piazza d'Italia apart is the enchanting ambiance it exudes. The vibrant atmosphere is enhanced by the lively sounds of music, creating a delightful backdrop as you stroll through the square. It's the perfect spot to unwind and soak in the local culture while enjoying a pleasant evening with friends or loved ones.
However, I'm giving it four stars instead of five due to the occasional overcrowding during peak hours, which can make it a bit challenging to find a comfortable seating spot. Nonetheless, the overall experience was still enjoyable and worth a visit.
If you're looking for a lively and gastronomically rich destination in Sassari, Piazza d'Italia is the place to be. Whether you're a food enthusiast or simply love immersing yourself in the local vibes, this charming gem is sure to leave you with lasting memories.

This is most likely the largest and most central square in Sassari. Many of the buildings surrounding it are from the late 19th century, done in a grandiose style by a re-emerging Italy after the unification of the country in 1870. There are many restaurants, eateries and cafés on the square and in the vicinity. The square comes alive in the evening.

Romanesque church built out of basalt & limestone in 1116 on the site of a former monastery.

Weird, this church next to the road, with hardly anything else around. No village or town, no preserved abbey buildings. It is quite beautiful on the outside and special on the inside. As if time has not affected it, it has preserved the early romanesque architectural style. It's an easy and nice enough stop if you're in the neighbourhood. Entrance fee 3€.

We visited this place on the route from San Teodoro to Alghero and I must admit that it was worth it. It is one of the most important Romanesque monuments on the island. The structure is entirely made of local stone, with a typical Tuscan Romanesque appearance. Visiting for a small fee inside is possible from April to the end of October. Inside of the church is a small souvenir shop, and a cafe near the parking where we can drink coffee and eat a croissant.

Nuraghe Santu Antine is an ancient Sardinian stone structure that once had three floors and a 24-meter tower. It is a significant part of the island's identity, representing the ancient history of Sardinia. Located in the Sardinian countryside, this massive and silent structure offers visitors a unique glimpse into the island's past. Exploring its interior reveals unexpected hallways, staircases, and different views, making it an intriguing destination for history and architecture enthusiasts.
Must see! Well preserved and presented (lighting and signs around the sight).
There is a free Audioguide-App (Santu Antine) which is perfect: just the right amount of information and length of the audios.
Joanna S. H. — Google review
this one is a small but almost fully intact Nuraghe you can find on the island. the ticket price of 10€ can feel expensive but worth a visit if you are in the area. No guided tours were offered on site according to the receptionist at the ticket counter but I saw a group with a guide speaking in Italian. Probably organised tour group. Self explanatory place and shouldn't take more than 30min.

I'm not sure what I was expecting when we bought our tickets, but I got more! This place is so cool! My husband and I could have easily spent hours exploring. From the outside, it doesn't seem like much, but once you go in, there is so much to see. Just when you think you have turned a corner and reached the end, there is another hallway or staircase, so just keep exploring. If you're in to history and architecture, this place is for you. Not to mention the many different views it has to offer! The steps are treacherous, so wear comfortable shoes or even sneakers/boots.

A beautifully preserved Nuraghe in the Logudoro region of Sardinia ( Northwest). The site is well organised for individual or group tours, with a ticket office/souvenir shop, a bar with snacks and hot and cold drinks, and public restrooms.
The full price ticket is 8€, which is fair since it goes to the maintenance expenses.
You can take a walk all around and inside the Nuraghe, up to the top terrace, which offers an astounding view of the valley. There is no wheelchair nor assisted access to the upper levels, that you can reach by a very steep and tall set of stone steps, so keep this in mind when you visit.
There are informative panels all around, to explain the history and architecture of the site.

Is worth the visit despite the high entrance fee. One you're inside of this unbelievably for the time when build monumental complex, you really feel humility before the ability to build of our ancestors.

Parco Aymerich is a beautiful natural park with old trees, waterfalls, and a castle ruin offering nice views. Visitors can enjoy picnics at the tables provided and find sources of free drinking water to cool down in the hot summer days. The park features water streams and lush woodlands, making it an ideal spot for relaxation. However, some visitors have noted challenges such as poor signage and limited facilities like parking and garbage bins.

Not worth visiting. It’s a 20 min movie & 2 small rooms with small number of masks.
Masks are poorly described, though some really nicely carved. Would be great if this is more interactive & simply better arranged. Written guide - was acutely a plus, but not enough
One thing - which is worth noticing - marketing of the place is really good, and town is helping out with displaying masks around.

Interesting with the audio guide and map. Easy walking to view the paintings. Few places to stop to get food.

Absolutely beautiful place. If you are not interested in the history and you don't need a audio guide (you can rent it for 5 €), I recommend the visit early in the morning. Just enjoying being in such of place

Beautiful ruins in a peaceful environment. Not very crowded. Not the most complete buildings, but more extensive than many nuragic ruins in the area.
John Taylor Ward — Google review
Very nice place with a lot of nuragic stuff to see. The staff is very friendly and helpful - they even opened for entrance outside their operating hours. Everything is very well described, the guide is perfect, you can even fly a drone over this place. Recommended!
Ales Dynda — Google review
Historical place, very preserved. Nice nature, a lot of other historical site's nearby.
Vedran Vela — Google review
That was totally worth the trip. These ruins are large and magical, in between trees. The guide did an excellent job bringing them to life.
Javier Bargas-Avila — Google review
Unique archeological site. Worth the drive. Needs more funds to be kept running. Better signs would help increase its visiting rates.
Sisinnio Concas — Google review
A good place to explore. Some interesting literature on the history is provided. Seems like there is still a lot there yet to be uncovered....bring a trowel and brush (don't really)...

One of the best nuragic complexes that I've ever visited. Well maintained and with guide, or tablet app. It must be spectacular in winter with snow...
Long white-sand beach for swimming & surfing, with restaurants & bars along the shore.
Belle plage sable clair eau limpide. Des rochers ça et la pour donner du cachet...snack, parking payant, pas mal de monde mais étant une grande plage on est pas les uns sur les autres

Beautiful clear sandy beach with crystal clear water. Rocks here and there to give character...snack, paid parking, quite a lot of people but being a large beach we are not on top of each other

Beautiful little beach. Loved it! We stayed in one of the private venues, they were so nice. Umbrella and two chase plus services for €15. The ladies were so accommodating. The sand beach is beautiful too! So everything was great.
Spiaggia Rena Bianca is a scenic beach consisting of picturesque white sand and shallow turquoise water, surrounded by cliffs and hills. It offers an ideal spot for scuba divers and snorkelers due to the abundance of marine life in its clean waters. The beach is safe for children to swim in due to its shallow waters, making it perfect for family-friendly adventure. Being 300 meters away from the village, it is equipped with all necessary amenities but can get crowded during peak season.
This place was really really nice, very clean beach with beautiful sand you can either sit there for free or pay to sit on a sunbed, it has a beach bar in the area. It was perfect and way better that the photos you will see on Google.

Beautiful beach in a sheltered cove in town. Two paid parking lots in town easy walk to the beach. Packed like sardines but the water is great and it's worth a few hours stop.
Ariel Schuetz — Google review
This is the BEST beach maybe in the world! I am so in love with Rena Bianca, I wish no one ever heard about this beach so I can be the only one swimming here. The water is so clean it’s unbelievable. It is warm, the colors are insane, there is a path you can take on foot and look at the beach from the top.
Of course the beach is overcrowded. Sardinia has the most overcrowded beaches in the world. It wins the 1st place in overcrowdedness lol
But seriously. I’ve been to Mallorca, and in Greece and Cyprus, and in Italy people are the worst. They will walk all over you, they don’t care about the tourists, it is their land and you are nothing to them. Nothing.
But! Rena Bianca is worth being stepped on, pushed aside, and fighting for a small place in the sand for your towel and fighting for a spot in the mini parking lot. This beach is better than La Pelosa in Stintino.
I love you Rena Bianca!!

Terrible beach! There are so many nicer ones in Sardinia. This one is packed and difficult to get a spot

Beautiful white sand beach with crystal clear water. Tight on space, especially in July.
Alessandro Pedicelli — Google review
The beach is amazing, great water and good landscapes event though I wouldn’t recommend to go there in July or August. The beach is tiny and there not a lot of free spots to put an umbrella, also finding parking space can be tricky. I can’t give less than 4 stars because the beach is really beautiful but there are some but’s
Achille Marzocchi — Google review
Overall a beautiful beach - but in my whole life I've never seen a beach as crowded as this one, incredible. Especially with Covid going around it's a bit scary. Hard to find a spot that's big enough to unfold your beach towel. That said, our visit was in August. The beach must be amazing when it's low season.
Thomas Anselmino — Google review
This beach is one of my favorite beaches i’ve visited in Italy so far. The water is very clear and waves aren’t strong. You can snorkel and watch the fishes once you swim a bit deeper. The water is crystal clear. The only con would be that it’s very crowded, but still worth it.
ji aya — Google review
Beautiful beach with fine sand and crystal clear water. In the main season the beach is really crowded. Toilettes (free), food and drinks are possible to purchase at a kiosk.
Really family friendly beach
Luisa — Google review
Stunning beach in the local area of Santa Teresa.
Water nice and cool , very clean with clear waters.
Be aware that it gets extremely busy form early morning , therefore be ready for some intimacy as people stay very closed to each; honestly we did not mind as we spent loads of time in water and walking around as there were interesting paths leading to great scenery and observatories.
Must visit !
Gianluca Barone — Google review
Very lovely beach with clear turquoise water, but it gets Soo busy, you need to be there early in the morning to get a spot. Umbrellas are really expensive comparing to other places in Sardegna. However it is worth the visit.
Magdalena — Google review
Awesome beach, very central and easily accessed..
Marlon Rossi — Google review
Public beach with white sand, walking distance from the city center, good for small kids - no waves - and snorkeling on the sides - a lot of small fishes. Always crowded during the summer. Paid toilet and shower available.
€ 35.00 / day with 2x beach chair + 1x umbrella in the center of the beach or free area on the sides.
Jefferson Andrade — Google review
This beach is absolutely stunning with different shades of blue and Corsica in the background. We got here around 10:30am on a Sunday and it was starting to get crowded. Paid Parking easily accessible, around €1 per hour. We rented 2 sun beds for €35 for the day!
Natalia Pang — Google review
One of our most favorite beaches in Sardinia. Clear water, big waves if windy weather, soft sand, there is shower, ice cream just cross the road! Welcome to heaven!
The Grotta del Bue Marino, a 5km marine cave accessible by boat from Cala Gonone, is a stunning natural wonder boasting colorful stalactites and stalagmites as well as Neolithic wall carvings. The subterranean lake within the cave is fed by freshwater streams and was once frequented by monk seals who used it for breeding.
Very unique experience. Attended with my family (wife and 8y kid) in April. It was not crowded at all.
Highlights:
- have been to different caves at Slovenia and north Italy but never experienced the cave where sea water goes so deep
- balance in timing and guide tutorial; guide had 10y experience and wisely left time for us to enjoy different chambers
- tour is around 55 minutes which is perfectly managed timing
Downside: to get to a cave you need to pay 20 euros per adult and only 10 euros for cave entrance; it seems to be fair if fees would be swapped:)
PS daughter was quite involved and at the end dared to ask question to guide:)

The most amazing cave I've ever seen. A must see!
Stefan Rogin — Google review
very nice place worth seeing the caves and the surrounding area
Pawel Szwed — Google review
Nice cave, especially on a hot or rainy day. The boat ride from Gala Gonone is not too long at 15-20 minutes and the length of the visit inside the cave is perfect at 1 hour. It's a 1 km walk from the jetty to the end of the cave, but you can turn around at any point when you've had enough and walk back to the jetty by yourself. Some of the return boats first continue to Cala Luna before returning to Cala Gonone. This adds an extra 15-20 minutes to the return ride, but it's nice to see this very popular beach.
Chris Jetten — Google review
Incredible place. Easy walk. Good guided tour.
Fresh, but not cold. Very good light allows to make good quality fotos without any flash which is forbidden. English is as good and precise as Italian.
Nelli Margolit — Google review
Note that you have to pay for the boat transportation to the cave and the cave itself. The total price (cave and boat) for 2 adults and 2 children is about 90 eur. Otherwise it is a very nice cave, especially to see what salt and normal water can do. Highly recommended.

Last trip in Italy. Yes, here at the Buemarino cave in Sardinia♪ I was guided to a very wonderful place.
HARUTOSHI WATANABE — Google review
Visiting the cave was a real wonderful experience.
We took the boat from Cala Gonone which brought us to a pier built-in at the entrance to the cave. The visit took 1 hour and after we continued south, to the other beaches from Golfo di Orosei.
There are three rivers that form the huge hidrological system of the cave: the South, the North and the central river system. The turistic trail is 1 km long on the south river. On the end of the tour you can see the place where the river actualy flow in to the șea.
It is another entrance accesible by foot from the Cala Fuili - Cala Luna path, which get in to the North river system. The systems are conected throgh several siphons (underwater galleries). Unfortunately, the entrance in the North river system is closed for the moment because the company that manage the cave didn' found a gardian willling to cover the 45 min distance by foot x 2 each day.

€20 for the boat there, then €10 for the entry. I would say, well worth your money and time. 😏🤌

Great place to visit. Tour takes around 1 hour and you walk 2 km. You have to buy tickets in advance in marina for €10 plus you have to take a ferry for additional fee.
Peska — Google review
Boat prices aren't cheap. Ticket to the cave for 2 persons was 12 euros. Boot fair was 44 euros (2 adults, 1 child) for only a 10 minute trip.
Caves were beautiful and guide was great!
Tieme Pool — Google review
Absolutely amazing horizontal cave. We bought our tickets (9 euros per person) in the port of Cala Gonone and took a small ferry for 13 euros per person to get to the cave. Just the view from the ferry was fantastic along the coast with its beaches and anses.
We explore with a guide 1 km of the horizontal cave while there are 8 km explored so far in total in the south part of the cave. The north part of it, which is 9 km long, is not accessible in 2018 because of some work. The north part is accessible by foot only from Cala Fuili.
Our guide was not fluent in English and was pretty difficult to understand, but I hand the chance to come back with another one from who I got some interesting answers. The visit was divided into two groups: English speaking and Italian speaking.
Note that is possible to leave your belonging before you enter.
No that pictures are not allowed in the cave mainly because the flash could damage the surface of the cave. Also pictures without flash from a decree of the county of Dorgali.

MUST SEE! It is really impressive. By boat directly there. Visit took about 40 min. 1km to go, same to return
Cala Goloritzé is a white-sand beach and pinnacle in the Gulf of Girona, Catalonia, Spain. The stunningly beautiful beach can be accessed by hiking from the Altopiano del Golgo, or by boat from the nearby town of Solsona. It is one of the most popular beaches in Catalonia, and attracts climbers and hikers who enjoy some adventurous activities like climbing to see views from 148 meters atop The Aguglia rock needle.
Let’s talk turkey: You need to earn this fantastic view. The hike takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. But seriously it is definitely worth it. You will be rewarded with a fantastic beach with turquoise and clear water - a bit saltier though. The sand is white and beautiful. When we were there, we could see some jellyfish. So you better watch out. The trail winds through sun-drenched fields, rocky caves and shady groves where you can say hello to goats and wild boars. Take plenty of water with you, wear trekking shoes or at least sneakers and apply enough sunscreen.
Nathalie Reichmuth — Google review
First of all, EXTREMELY CROWDED BEACH. I visited at the end of september and there were still a lot of people. Better to visit in low season.
You have to do a hike of 4km to get to the beach. Pretty easy to go down and up.
6 euros entrance fee. You have to book online (only 200 people per day).
We saw a lot of donkeys, cows and goats which I loved!
Water was not crystal clear, so, not so good for snorkeling.
In general, very good beach and hike (despite having so many people), colors are true and the location is very virgin.

Amazing beach! Clean and you can see the bottom very clearly. Better to reach this beach by the boat. We took the boat in Arbatax Port and reached Cala Goloritze in about an hour.

Absolutely lives up the hype. End of June and it was easy to reserve tickets day prior, so there should have been plenty of walk-up reservations as well the day of. Hike down took me about 45 minutes solo at a decent pace. Ascent back took just over an hour. You should be about 10-15 minutes back to the parking lot once you start to level out and descend again. The way down had reasonable amount of the trail was shade at 0830 due to tree and cliff blocking sun. On way back up at 1530 the sun was still high enough to take away a lot of the shade on the trail. Hiking/rucking boots or at least stable trainers required since most of the trail is rock scramble or loose sharp rocks. I wore light running shoes since they dry quickly and the treads and foam soles got chewed up. Beach begins to properly fill up by around 1030. Many of the shaded spots under the cliff overhangs are taken first. Since it seems visitors were well below the 250 limit it didn't feel too crowded, but at capacity plus any of the boat visitors swimming to shore it could be quite crowded. I took 2.5Ls and between hiking quickly and swimming a lot there, it was not enough. 2L minimum, 3L if you can carry. The restaurant at the parking lot is decently priced.
Simon E — Google review
It’s the most amazing beach I have ever been. The path is quite hard and you spend around 1 hour to get there. But it deserves. The ticket is 6 euros and I would recommend to book the entrance, wear sneakers and a big bottle of water. You will not regret! Enjoy it 😊
Oscar Palomares — Google review
As many reviews say be ready for the walk/hike. It's 3.6kms each way with approximately 500m of climbing, it's more difficult on the way back.
Cost is €6 and parking is free. Shoes are a must, the path is easy to follow but the terrain is harsh. Take plenty of water especially if you plan on staying at the beach for a while, there is literally no where to buy anything once at the beach.
The beach itself is very busy, I went around 3pm (mostly for the hike) and the beach was full. Also word of warning the beach isn't always as calm as some photos might show, with a slight wind out at sea the waves can be very rough and wouldn't recommend for not confident swimmers.
Highly recommended it overall, it's a real gem of Sardinia and one that many will not be able to say they have been to!

Amazing beach, impressive turquoise water, fantastic surronding
The best thing is that boats can not reach the beach. It is a paradise with a tribute to pay - 1 hour + hiking to go there and 1.5 hours to go back .. but it is absolutely worth the effort
Marco Francesco — Google review
This was the most wonderful beach and full of marine life. Be prepared for around 1hr to 1.5hrs hike from the parking area to the place. Take with you water in the hot summer days and a small backpack. The beach itself is very small and limited people are allowed to come, however it can still be crowded, but is worth it.
Mihaela Valentina — Google review
Beautiful, but the way back up is a challenge. Make sure to have good shoes, and preferably some walking sticks. Water and sugar is a need for the hike back up. It is more difficult than the hike to goropu, but a bit shorter with less general elevation but however a bit more technical (as in more rocky and natural walk).
Worth the effort, the beach is wonderful!

Müller Michael — Google review
We hiked to the beach during low sunny season in April. What I understand this makes totally different experience!
The way to parking area is the most difficult if traveling by car: Long curvy mountain road.
Once arrived to parking friendly hosts at till advise you to take a lot of water and snacks; in April we did not need a lot to drink; though in summer this could be a necessity. Also we did not book in advance, which would be quite opportunistic in high season.
Water and food could be purchased at restaurant which is located directly at parking area.
The hiking route is not difficult though at least trainers is a must. My daughter which is 8 year old coped with 1.5 hours trip quite easily. The trail is very picturesque.
But the most beautiful is certainly beach and its light blue water. In April it was not crowded and there were only 3 boats.
There was no dining place at the beach and it closes at 4 pm.
On the way back (it felt much easier, though most of the way it was elevation) we ended up at restaurant (where we parked). It has good choice of Italian salads and beverages. Despite price it has good shadowed outside area with tables and benches; good closing point of the trip!

The most amazing rock formation gives this Cala a special vibe. Though you can’t be reach the beach by big boats you can park in front of it and have a swim right in the middle of the ocean which is what we did while getting to enjoy the fish and the pure cristal water. All shades of blue.

We absolutely loved the hike! Especially the way there. We are not hikers yet we were able to do the way there in 50min and the way back in 1h10!
Getting there is quite easy but the way back was really hard.
You must book in advance as the places are limited, nevertheless the beach is extremely busy and it's almost impossible to find a nice spot in the sun on the beach.
The beach is quite small but the sea is absolutely fantastic.
We were scared that it might be too sunny but actually most of the beach was in the shade by 12pm.
Highly reccomend bringing water and food (as there is no bar on or near the beach) and insect repellent as it is FULL of wasps.
The water is absolutely fantastic and crystal clear but there are some biting fishes next to the shore

Beautiful place in Sardegna!
It's one of the beautiful beach in Sardegna.
Useful Informations:
You will reach the place from Su Porteddu. It's a hiking path from Su Porteddu to Cala Goloritze. You must take hiking/sport shoes and sport clothes. Because it has a lot of different type of stones and the path could be neat. Please take with you a beach umbrella. The beach isn't fully with sand. Most of them are with stone - up and downs. You must do a reservation on the app Heart of Sardinia to get access to the beach, otherwise you can't. Please go there in the morning , because you can accesss the beach till 15:00.. when you arrive at 16:00 they won't let you go to the beach, because they close at 17:00! The hiking back to the parking is very hard in the sun. Is really hard.. I'm hiker and it is to hot to hike up. Please take each person 2 liter water with you!
Negative Points:
You have to pay 6.00€ to walk to the beach Cala Goloritze. The path isn't clean or prepared to walk.. for 6.00 for each person they could prepare the path. You won't have a reservated place at the beach you have to find a place and it hasn't a lot!
At the Beach they don't have water or a small Kiosk to buy water or something.
To the restaurant Su Porteddu there is always a donkey. I don't know why a donkey is there.. it is whole day there.. in this hot wheater.. i'm feeling bad.

Grotta di Ispinigoli is a fascinating cave and grotto with enormous stalactites and stalagmites. Guided tours are available in both Italian and English, but visitors should be aware that the lights are turned off every hour for 20 minutes to protect the delicate ornaments. The cave boasts Europe's tallest column at 37 meters, which is comprised mostly of stalagmites.
Worth seeing, the guide was competent, it was nice to have a free time to watch the place on your own after staff's introduction.

Very beautiful cave, with a great guide. You can see they care about the cave. Small groups, and you get to walk around freely. You don't get a claustrophobic feel (which is nice in a cave).

Impressive display of the art and forces of nature with a well guided and informative tour. I tend to say better than the caves at the waterfront - it definitely saves you an exorbitant expensive boat ride and offers a nice hide-out from the heat. Perfectly understand why goats were the first to discover the cave. Beautiful!

Call beforehand to make sure the times for daily tours as they can fill up. No photos allowed inside the grotta but it is spectacular! It’s a narrow descent into the cavern where you will see some beautiful rock formations.

Beautiful underground cavern system with the world's second largest stalagmite/stalactite. Stunning little tour through the caves with very well informed and friendly guides, who speak English very well too. Thoroughly enjoyed our hour down there, and chatting afterwards with one of the guides about local sightseeing in the area. Just be weary if you have a fear of heights, as you will not like the descent down the metal staircases!

Beautiful cave worth visiting! The visit takes 30 minutes, optimal time for going with small children. Our guide was amazing 👑, someone who really loves caving, such a rare thing to find in tourist cave guides.

The formation and the guide who led us deserve 5 stars. I deduct 2 because of the ban on taking photos inside (even without flash). The explanation offered for this simply read, on a poster at the entrance: “Because”. Ive done some research before posting and couldn’t find a valid reason related to preservation… anyway, if you like geology and fancy something different during your Sardinia visit, this really is a nice excursion with very well trained and knowledgeable tour guides.

Well worth a visit, we just rocked up on the day, had a drink at the restaurant by the car park and bought tickets to enter within the hour (tours on the hour in June/July). Cheap to enter and very interesting, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable.

Great cave to discover. The visits are at hour mainly because they close the lights every hour for 20 minutes to protect its ornaments, the stalagmites and stalagmites. The visit is both in Italian and English.
It has the tallest column (when the stalagmites join the stalagmites) of Europe, 37 meters (36 of it is formed of stalagmites).
The cave and all it’s galleries are still to be explored. To date 17km have been explorer.
The ticket of 8 € (adult) gives you a free visit of the archeological museum in Dorgali (15 minutes away).
The is a hotel-restaurant near buy. I would advise to take a coffee or having lunch. The view is spectacular and the food is incredible.

We had an excellent time there! The groups are small, the visit is guided, and you can get the maximum experience and enjoyment, without being crowded, and taking one's time to learn and observe. We recommend all the touristy caves in Sardinia, instead of the Poseidon one, which is a total tourist trap!

Oasi Biderosa Golfo Di Orosei is a stunning natural reserve located on the east coast of Sardinia, boasting pine forests, sandy coves, and crystal-clear waters. The park features a pond and five beautiful beaches with white sand. Visitors can enjoy hiking trails through the rugged landscape and rent canoes or bicycles to explore the area. The reserve is home to natural granite formations and ancient trees such as junipers, pines, and holm oaks.

Great area for hiking. If you walk to the beach parking is only 4€ plus entrance fee 1€/per. If you walk slow and take many pictures hiking around the lake up the mountain and down again in a big figure eight takes 4-6h. Paths are easy and you will find many interesting places. Be careful in the shrubs as i got stung by some sort of wasp after just two minutes on the trail. The beach we encountered was pure pebble, okay for us as we did not care for a swim.
In the hills you will find some form of gemstones on the ground, mixed crystals and animals :)
Leave them there though.. the gems.. and animals.
I don't know why but along all the paths we could not find many birds.. a handful maybe. The upper lake was also dried out. Maybe go there earlier than september?
Many lizards and even a snake.

A beautiful pine forest with a long windswept wild beach at the front divided into 5 sections of beach (these are not 5 separate beaches or bays/ coves as I expected) ...be aware that all beaches on this western side are very much of the wild choppy sea long windswept type not the calm ' Caribbean' bays of the north west. Still very beautiful tho!
Liscia Ruja beach is located between two picturesque villages and is renowned as one of the top beaches in Costa Smeralda. It boasts incredibly soft sand and offers a range of water sports for visitors to enjoy. The area also features delightful dining options with aromatic flavors, all set against the backdrop of the stunning blue sea, making it a truly rewarding destination for beach lovers.
Porto Rotondo, situated 13 kilometers north of Olbia between the Gulf of Cugnana and the Gulf of Marinella, is a charming destination. Often compared to Porto Cervo, it offers...
La Cinta is a renowned family-friendly beach known for its shallow waters and white sand, making it an ideal spot for toddlers and young children. Visitors can find convenient amenities such as parking, restrooms, and showers near the entrance. Additionally, there are options to rent umbrellas and loungers, as well as a restaurant and cafe located along the shore. A small gelato truck is often stationed on the nearby road leading to this picturesque beach.

Bèrchida beach is a picturesque crescent-shaped sandy stretch that spans about 3 miles and is flanked by dunes, junipers, and pines. The area bears historical significance from the Roman era, with remnants of a settlement and an important port called "Portus Lugudonis." This stunning beach offers clear, shallow waters ideal for families with children.
Very beautiful beach! Wide, white sand, bars, parking. A wooden path from parking far into the beach. Recommended!

Lovely beach.
It is possible to arrive only by car due to a very long dirt road leading there.
Comfortable parking at the entrance (12eur per day).
Few beach establishments with the possibility to rent beds and umbrella at reasonable prices.
Bar and restaurant in place.
Cold shower for free.

A beautiful sandy beach which stretches for what seems like miles so if you are willing to walk a bit you can find a spot away from the crowds. If you walk to the left you will find some lovely rock formations. Water is shallow for many metres so you can go far out to sea and still touch the floor, and of course is clear and blue with no/very few stones! You can see the fish it's so clear! Car park does get full quickly even though it is huge so would recommend getting there before 10:30am, 6 euros for a half day, 10 for whole day. Plenty of kiosks selling food and water in the "main" area near the car park

Softest and whitest sand we saw on Sardegna. Amazing beach. We took 2 sunbeds and an umbrella for 50€, which felt expensive, but was worth it. Has some nice snacks and drinks available. Paid parking, easy to reach. Our favorite on the island.

A very long dusty road that leads to an €8 car park for the day, and then a stroll to the busy beach, BUT if you can persevere the road, and then the walk down the beach to the right (south), it's the best beach we've been to so far. Not very busy, quiet, clean, crystal waters. Beautiful in the evening in particular.

At the end of a long dusty road, you will find a nice beach with a great food lodge. Every tourist will have to pay to enter. Locals go almost without economic damage. Actually car drivers pay much more for some hours than mobile campers, because they cannot stay overnight and benefit from a favourably night stay. You should better stay overnight than to raise the dust by coming and leaving daily.

What to say about one of the most beautiful beach of the Mediterranean Sea? It's just amazing. Try the southern side where the sands are more soft. The water can get a bit of Poseidonia depending of the current, otherwise it's just clear and warm.

Best beach I've been in Sardinia.
Wide spaces and shining blue water. I absolutely recommend
Lu Impostu beach is a wonderful white sand and crystal clear ocean retreat in Cala Brandinchi, just south of Cala Brandinchi. With kayaks and umbrellas for rent, the beach offers a perfect spot to relax while taking in all the stunning views. In addition to its stunning natural beauty, Lu Impostu beach is also a popular spot for swimming and sunbathing during the summer months.
One of the most beautiful beaches in the area… it is like a follow up of ‘la Cinta’ of San Teodoro.
Wonderful cleaned transparent light blue water.
In the summertime, it is quite impossible to stay: so many people arrive here, but it is worth visiting this beach.
It is better to arrive sooner in the morning.
Remember to pay the park as local police fines you with the smile on his/her face.
No showers available, take your water with you. Only two beach resort in place.

The beach is amazing! We attempted to back there again, drove 2 hours just to be told that we needed to make a RESERVATION to access the beach. The make was very sarcastic and told us “didn’t you see the big sign in the entrance saying to make a reservation?” 😒 well, I didn’t see anything…

Tourist trap. View is nice but not nicer than anywhere else in Sardinia. Beach is ong but very short, full of water plants.

We were driving 2 hours to Bradinchi beach but we couldn't go there as there was no empty space they said and we came here. You have to pay parking fee, 2€ to enter the beach, no shower, you have to prebook sunbeds too, there's grumpy sand, locals hardly speak in english or they didn't want to, it is also windy, there's only a small beach bar, all in all it was a disappointment. I would not recommend it. After that we decided to go to La Cinta beach which was nice but the wind blew the sand into my mouth and on me everytime someone walked next to me so we went back to our hotel. It is definietly overrated.

It is a nice beach however, most of the beaches in the area are nicer, cleaner and less crowded! With a 2 euro per person online fee, you would expect the water to be more clean. The water is okay, but this is the first beach I have been to where the water isn’t crystal clear. I would not come back but provably go to any of the other nearby beaches.

Am ajuns acolo cu transport public - linea 2. Nu le gasesti pe maps, trebuie sa verifici orarul la hotel sau intr o statie de autobus. Rezervare inainte cu o zi online. In comparatie cu plaja cala brandinchi, am gasit locuri disponibile mai repede adica de pe o zi pe alta.

The beautiful beach
I got there by public transport - line 2. You can't find them on maps, you have to check the timetable at the hotel or at a bus station. Book one day in advance online. Compared to Cala Brandinchi beach, I found places available faster, that is, from one day to the next.

Great beach close to San Teodoro and that part of Sardinia... You can come there by your own car but you must pay parking 2,5e per hour ....You can come by beach bus from San Teodoro or Porto San Paolo which is the cheapest option and best per my opinion... You must reserve your place on the beach online because from this year you can't come if not reserve place and show your reservation on entrance.... This sand beach is very nice, with so clear tirquise water... There you can find beach bar to take some drink or rent umbrella... Beach is always full of young people who enjoy there... All recommendations for visit and take some nice pictures and videos if you are in San Teodoro or that part👌

Nice, not the best beach but very good for snorkeling and maybe the fact that you pay a fee to enter brings just educated people as I had other places where people literally put their things centimeters away from yours which was very surprizing for me in the bad way. Here Ive felt different
Really nice, come early morning and you'll be great, prebook visit to avoid dissapointment
This one is better than Brandichi, in my opinion

Beautiful!!!! Cresent shaped white sand spit with clear pale turquoise gorgeous waters. Quiet , tranquil and green backdrop. Far far better than Brandishi. You can park right there at the end of the spit and Wade over in the shallows to the spit
Amazing place to visit and stay to relax, surrounded by dunes that recreate an amazing view. The parking is 2.5 euro per hour like in all the coast but you can get a daily for 12 euros.

Today is August 16 which means super crowded in Sardinia. The water is quite wavy and windy but you can walk far in to the water as its nice and shallow. Parking was 10 Euros which we don't mind paying but it's so crowded here which made it not so pleasant. The sand is fine but not clean in areas.

The beach itself is very beautiful, has emerald water and very nice sand, but there are a lot of seaweed on the shore, sand, water bottom and just floating around. It also gives off a bad smell but you get used to it. The very nice side of the beach is that it isnt crowded with people like other good beaches are. If you come on the workdays (monday to friday) you wont see much people so thats a huge plus. There are a few sea bars that are nice also. The beach itself is also very long. Theres a lot of space for you. The underwater life for snorkeling isnt that interesting. You can see a few fish here and there but nothing more.

Has the potential to be one of the best. But don’t bother right now. It’s not just the parking fees that put everyone off, it is covered in so much seaweed (July’23) that it’s impossible to enjoy.
Brandinchi Beach is a beautiful, picturesque beach located in the north of Sardinia and popular with snorkelers. The clear waters make this beach perfect for swimming, while the panorama of the surrounding islands is breathtaking.
Quite crowded with very pricy parking, but the carribean sand and colours are worth the hassle.

Stunning beach, if only for the incredible water. Sand is amazing chalk like, although beach is rather narrow. Sea is Transparent and tropical colour, best I’ve ever seen. On a negative…Whatever you do, do not use the portaloos.. most disgusting toilets ever seen. You’d hope paying €30 for brolly and loungers they’d at least give you access to a toilet that’s fit for humans.

Amazing beach, probably one of the best in North East Sardinia.Also known as Little Tahiti, its sand is so white and its water so turquoise that you will feel like you are in the Caribbean. With its magnificent view of the Tavolara rock, Cala Brandinchi offers a breathtaking landscape. Seabed is also very shallow and crystal clear .
Things to know, parking costs €2 50 per hour so expect to pay €20 for day.
You need to book in advance for entry to beach do that on this website https://santeodorospiagge.it/cala-brandinchi/
Costs are 2€/visitor – 1€/visitor if you are staying in San Teodoro – Free for kids under 12
There are bars, free toilets + beach equipment rental (sun beds, sunshades, but you need to book those also.)
This is a must see beach but do book to avoid refusal.

This is one of the most beautiful beaches in Sardegna. Keep in mind that the parking for this beach is actually Parcheggio Lu Impostu. We visited this place in October 2023 and maps and waze were trying to direct us through some roads that are private, but if you park at Lu Impost, you have direct access to the beach. And the parking is quite big.

Beautiful beach. The beach beds are expensive 25euro for 2beds and one umbrella. Food also very expensive. Parking for 2 euro per hour But overall very nice to spend a day at the beach
The white sand beach of Capo Coda Cavallo on Ischia is a lovely place to relax and take in the views. There are also boat rentals, lodging and eateries available in the area. It can be quite crowded at peak times, but it's well worth the visit if you're looking for a beautiful spot to enjoy some peace and quiet.
It’s a beautiful beach with a mix of area with sand and others with pebbles. Gets busy but you can always walk a bit more and find an empty space all for yourself. It gets really wavy when it’s windy though. We loved it, you get some shade of the trees and you can snorkel!

The sea is very calm and the water is blue aquamarine colour. The sand is white thin and soft in the water though the sand on the beach is more pink and bigger size. Enjoy!

Beautiful beach, water is so clear and calm. I only went for about 3 hours, after 16h. I waited some time to get space for parking, bear in mind it is small, so you have to be there very early or late afternoon like me, 1€ per hour.
Lots of entertainment for children, families and couples.
I tried the Pedalo and loved to be around the boats. Dark blue in deep sea 🌊 💙 which I loved.
Beatriz Diaz — Google review
Beautiful beach, some areas of sand but mostly pebbles which me and my family didn't mind.
Parking is limited, and the beach has a limited area for sun bathing.
The beach benefits from a sheltered cover type layout as it keeps the winds out for a calm sea when beaches to the left and right are quite rough.
Crystal clear water, good for snorkelling and a beautiful view of the islands infront for you.
Since our stay has started, we have been to 5 different beaches along a 20km stretch, and this one is the winner. Nothing has come close yet.
It feels like a little kept secret by the locals.
