💡 Tips
- A rental car is essential for exploring the nearby hidden coves and visiting Santa Teresa Gallura.
- Make use of the extensive pine forest for shade; it's the first-rate spot for a cool siesta away from the midday sun.
- Visit in mid-June for warm waters and lower prices before the peak Italian holiday season begins in July.
- Bring your own supplies to the beach; most of the coast here is wild and lacks commercial lidos or bars.
- The beaches face northwest, offering some of the best sunset views in Sardinia right from the sand.
🍽 Food
A savory 'soup' that's more like a bread and cheese lasagna; a true staple of North Sardinian cuisine.
Try this at 'Agriturismo Da Paolina' for an authentic farm-to-table Sardinian experience.
Handmade pasta stuffed with potato and mint; look for them in the small trattorias in the village.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
Look for the traditional 'Gallurese' patterns in local craft shops, often featuring bird or floral motifs.
Buy aged sheep cheese directly from the local markets; it stores well and is an excellent souvenir.
The wilder sister beach to the south; it’s much quieter and great for those who enjoy untouched nature.
A protected natural site nearby with rocky paths leading to small, silent coves away from the village.
