Another great beach near alghero. A very looong sand beach with some surf & boat rental. A real…read moremotorboat without licence for 30 euros, 15 to surf. Good beach for kids as there Are no stones in the water and it gets deeper slowly. Really great view on capo caccia I wonder if we will get there with the rented motorboat It seems far ;)

A lovely beach with a great view over the bay. There are trees for shade and the sand is nice and…read morelight. It gets pretty crowded. There are a couple of bars/snack places to get food and a big carpark with an attendant. Both the beach bus and the local bus head out here. The local bus is cheaper and way faster, but they can fill up on busy days. To cycle out you follow the signs to Fertilia and then Maristella. It's about 10km out, mainly a flat route but there are a couple of hills at the end.

This is a great family beach with sand to play with and some rocks/pebbles in the water (the best…read moreplaces to look for fish)! There is very little cellular coverage in this particular area, if you need some wifi, walk up to the bar for signal. There are two parking entrances to the beach... Enter in the second entrance when driving from Alghero, then walk all the way left for the clearer waters. Remember to bring coins for the parking machine!

Did you know Sardinia is recognized for having some of the most beautiful beaches in the world?…read more That said, we couldn't come halfway across the world and not have a day at the beach here! My husband did some research and found this small, yet really beautiful beach just a few miles from Porto Cervo Marina, where we are staying. There are only about 3 parking spaces by the entrance​ and just a few more down the road. It's definitely not a huge populated beach​​, and that's precisely the reason why I absolutely loved it! Unlike beaches in the U.S., the beaches here tend to be more quiet​ and sedate. No frisbee throwing and volleyball with dogs running off-leash​. Just soft plushy white sand and dreamy Mediterranean blue waters in quiet surroundings. Aaaahh! ​

Nice hike to reach the beach. Definitely a beautiful beach, don't get me wrong... but there are so…read moremany other beautiful beaches on the island and even more on La Maddalena. Goloritze was WAY overcrowded with people on the beach and boats in the water. Made it impossible to relax and have a good day there without feeling like people were breathing down your neck everywhere you turn. Would probably pass next time I go back to Sardegna.

"Il Poetto" IS Cagliari's beach, and a long strand at that, and many city bus lines run alongside…read moreit, so getting here is easy. The layout reminds me of L.A.'s strand of beaches. This long strand is anchored at its southern end by la Sella del Diavolo (the Devil's Saddle) which is a promontory, though not as imposing and extensive as Palos Verdes. The beach continues as a strand for miles, without any foothills behind it, and then makes a bend which is backed by foothills, the same way that the Palisades and Malibu do along Pacific Coast Highway in L.A. The difference is that the layout is a mirror image, or reversed. There's a lot of space at lengthy Il Poetto. It does not feel crowded. The water is warm, the surf is mild, and the color is appealing and clear, though not crystalline. Again, if you are doing the real tourist thing in search of crystalline coves and a tourist scene, you'll be on a ferry or a low-cost flight to northeastern Sardinia, at the Costa Smeralda, where Porto Cervo is the feather in its cap. But, if you are in low-key Cagliari, the island's capital in Sardinia's south, you will find that this a great beach in a city that has everything you need and very little hype, thus making it very relaxing.

These are my favorite coves in Alghero, definitely bring your snorkeling gear! Here you can easily…read morefind dozens of starfish and beautiful sea fish in the crystal clear waters. There are three different coves and each area is very small so if you want to find a spot head there early. There isn't that much sand and the water floor is covered with pebbles so for those with sensitive feet, remember to bring along water shoes. To reach the coves you have to drive a few minutes past the regular Lazzerretto beach and park on the side of the road. It is hard to tell where the entrance down to the coves are, but along the left-side you will see a sandier opening in a midst of trees. There is a rocky path down and you will eventually see the coves, only a 3 minute walk down. If you don't see anything, you've gone the wrong way!

There is as most beaches around Alghero sand to lay down and be dry in the sun. It gets deep a bit faster as other beaches but it's also better for snorkeling as most the other. There is a little snack place to buy gelato, pasta and other stuff, and one can rent a sun chair (?). One star less because it seems more crowded than other beaches but I don't see why?

Once you reach downhill you will be rewarded with the most spectacular view. The waters here are tranquil and clear and white sands complete the perfect picture. The surrounding landscape is just as amazing. This spot is a must see.
