Beach overall scores
Cala del Sonno (Sassari) is located outside the Golfu di li Ranci Golfo Aranci settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Sardinia island, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"Small hidden cove, located on the northern side of the Capo Figari promontory. Inaccessible by land but reachable only by sea. Extremely exposed to north and north winds. The beach is mainly made up of stones and pebbles, the water is cobalt blue and very suggestive. Those who are lucky enough to be able to admire it will certainly be fascinated by it."
Aeffe Costruzioni
"Impossible to arrive from land, by sea I recommend caution as the 30 meter depth turns into a granular of rocks at low tide, both emerging and otherwise,
The only point on Capo Figari where, thanks to the geographical layout, a bit of sunlight permeates from 2.00pm to 4.00pm,
Natural swimming pool almost always exclusive due to difficulty of access,
Very fishy place"
