The Sardinian coastline is approx. 1,800 km long and impresses with its crystal clear, azure blue to emerald green sea water and white sandy beaches and dunes, which are surrounded by pine groves and partly hidden bays. The famous Costa Smeralda, which is located on the northeastern coast of Sardinia, is especially popular by international jet sets and is considered one of the most noble holiday regions in Europe. This roughly 20 km long, rugged coastline, which stretches from Palau to Olbia, obtained its name from the emerald green color of the sea water. In Porto Cervo, the tourist center, you will find all kinds of high-priced goods and services as well as mooring options for luxury yachts of all sizes.
The counterpart to this is the Costa Rei, which is located in the southeast of the island and which captivates sun-seekers with impressive, beautiful sandy beaches. Also worth mentioning are the remarkable dune landscapes of the Costa Verde located on the west coast and the beaches of the Sinis peninsula near Oristano. The coastal region of Gallura in the extreme northeast of the island is no less fascinating. It forms beautiful bays with its bizarre granite formations. Magnificent diving grounds and surf spots at Capo Testa find themselves among the best in the world. The gigantic granite rocks form caves and are partly covered with the red precious coral. The diversity of species impresses every diver: In addition to sea anemones, groupers, lobsters and squids, even moray eels can be found here.
