Sardinia is famous for its white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and rugged coastlines that rival the Caribbean.
Whether you love lively beach towns with cafés and full facilities, or hidden coves where the only sound is the sea — Sardinia truly has it all.
We’ve created a guide featuring more than 160 beaches across the island, from Stintino in the far northwest to Villasimius in the south and the untouched coastline of the Costa Verde.
Each beach is described with:
-

This makes it easy to find the beach that fits your style — peaceful or lively, family-friendly or adventurous, with or without reservation requirements.
