… If you fancy visiting and discovering the many beaches or small inlets of the Corallo Riviera, exit the hotel and walk along the promenade on the Lido towards Fertilia, where you can settle for the free beach or equipped seaside resorts, or continue along to the Maria Pia beach and its pine wood, a real, green oasis just a stone’s throw from town featuring pearly white sand dunes and various species of Mediterranean trees.

... Continuing along the coast towards Cape Caccia, you must stop for a swim in the limpid and crystalline sea off the famous Bombarde beach. A valid alternative is definitely the nearby and quieter Lazzaretto beach (where major adverts have been shot) and, further on, Mugoni beach in the Porto Conte bay. |

… Before reaching Cape Caccia, you can visit Cala Tramariglio and Cala Dragunara, and at the viewpoint you can admire a magnificent panorama that stretches towards the Bay and Foradada Island. From Cape Caccia to Santa Maria La Palma, a rural village famous also for its wine-growing farm of the same name, there are tourist signs on the left indicating the way to the beach at Porto Ferro, a splendid coast-line of ultra-fine, reddish sand between towers and Mediterranean scrub, immersed in stunning, unblemished and wild countryside typical of coastal Sardinia. |
