💡 Tips
- Parking near the beaches can be paid and tightly monitored in summer; check the lines and bring coins or a parking app.
- The pine forest (pineta) is great for picnicking, but strict fire regulations mean open barbecues are heavily restricted.
- Local buses connect the marina to Sassari and Castelsardo, but schedules are sparse on Sundays.
- Bring your own shade if you plan to walk far down the Platamona beach, as the unorganized stretches have no facilities.
🍽 Food
Look for agriturismos slightly inland from the marina for authentic roasted suckling pig.
Try the traditional Sardinian gnocchi with sausage and tomato sauce at local trattorias.
Finish your meal with this fried pastry filled with pecorino cheese and covered in local honey.
