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! ​

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.
