Sea Holiday
A sea for all needs
Crystal clear waters, white or golden sand or rocks for diving and overhanging cliffs, the coasts of the South West represent a unique variety for those who love the sea! Not only relaxation but also sport and movement: from kitesurfing to raft excursions it is possible to experience the sea in all its forms.
Porto Pino – Sant’Anna Arresi
One of our most famous beaches. A gulf over 6 km long where small beaches alternate with rocks with breathtaking views (Candiani) and a long expanse of sand that is lost visibly, about 4km, where it is possible to spend whole days of relaxation even taking long walks maybe at sunset! The area is within a naturalistic context of the highest quality where nature in harmony tells how this place is one of the pearls of the Mediterranean. The very fine sand dunes, located in the territory of Teulada and the long pine forest that accompanies almost the entire beach deserve a special mention. The turquoise-colored water has a very shallow seabed and is suitable for children and for snorkelling and sport fishing.
Not far away we find the area of Porto Pineto with the beach called Spiaggia dei Francesi, in a small crescent gulf with crystal clear water that alternates rocks with fine sand where you can spend your day at the beach in absolute relaxation without the crowds of the more popular Porto. Pine tree

Masua – Iglesias
One of the best known beaches of the entire South West coast, Masua presents itself with its very fine and clear amber-colored sand, bathed by a crystalline, green and transparent sea with depths that immediately become deep. But the particular and unique glance is given by the rock of Pan di Zucchero positioned in front of this small beach, which offers one of the most sensational sunsets in Italy. The rock is one of the most beautiful natural monuments on the island and has a massive and rounded shape. Karst phenomena over the centuries have pierced its surface creating two tunnel-shaped caves. They open at sea level, both habitats of seabirds, and one can be crossed by small boats. In front of the islet, magically suspended in the middle of the sheer rock face, the outlet to the sea of the Porto Flavia mining tunnel overlooks. A little further on, reachable by sup, kayke or by rubber dinghy, there is also the wonderful cave called “Blue Grotto” or “Grotta Sardegna”, a real spectacle of nature that crosses it against the light and traces Sardinia to the top.
