Cannigione: dream beaches

Begin your journey among the spectacular beaches around Cannigione from the Cala di Falco Resort. La Conia Beach, with its fine sand and turquoise waters, is perfect for relaxing under the sun. Tanca Manna offers a long stretch of golden sand, surrounded by rich Mediterranean scrub, while heading further north, you’ll find Barca Bruciata Beach and the beach at the Punta of Barca Bruciata, immersed in a partly solitary and wild nature with shallow waters: ideal for families with children. Beyond the promontory lies the largest beach in the Gulf, Mannena, with some small coves that can be reached by dinghy to access the most hidden spots.

Among the most beloved coves is Le Piscine Beach, which can be reached not only by sea but also with a short walk along a trail surrounded by the varieties of plants typical of Sardinia: rockrose, myrtle, mastic, juniper, as well as wild olive, strawberry tree, and heather. To preserve the integrity of the beach, Le Piscine has introduced responsible access starting in 2024, free for everyone from 15 July to 31 August 2024, with online booking on the official Arzachena Turismo website.

Palau: the gateway to the La Maddalena Archipelago

End your journey in Palau, a charming town located opposite the La Maddalena Archipelago. Famous for its Bear Rock, an extraordinary natural granite formation, Palau is the perfect starting point for boat trips to the islands of the archipelago.

In Palau, you can enjoy some of the most beautiful beaches, including Saline Beach and Cala Capra, with fine sand and crystal-clear waters ideal for swimming and sunbathing. Immerse yourself in the natural beauty and let yourself be lulled by the turquoise waves of Northern Sardinia’s sea.
