Latest reviews on Sardinia's beaches

Cala Domestica beach
4 Adele Leah

Gorgeous beach, beautiful sea highly recommend eating at Agida - the smiles of summer bar not the first bar as you get to the beach but the second where there’s the sun beds and boat hire. Fresh lovely food, staff super friendly, place clean and reasonably priced. The bar Oasi as you arrive on the beach is terrible the staff rude and obnoxious, the place wasn’t clean and when we asked if we could put rubbish and dog poo we found on the beach not our rubbish or poo in the bin we were shouted at which is ridiculous as we were trying to keep the beach clean for them but they didn’t care. The second bar on the beach are looking after the beautiful surroundings with care and looking after the people definitely go to this one if you want to eat or drink

La Pelosa Beach
10 Alyssa B.

This beach is truly a piece of heaven on earth! It's the perfect spot for families with young children to enjoy a day of sun, sand, and sea. Be sure to plan ahead and book your visit during peak season to ensure a memorable experience.

Piccola Lisciaruja beach
8 JAVIER RODRIGUEZ LOPEZ

This beach on the Emerald Coast is known for its impressive length and its crystal clear, warm waters that make for a delightful swimming experience. It comes highly recommended for spending a full day, as there are numerous parking spaces conveniently located along the beach and plenty of options for dining and enjoying a refreshing drink.

Calamosca Beach
8 Elias Grant

This beach is an incredible hidden treasure near Poetto beach in Cagliari. If you swim to the right for just a few minutes, you'll discover some of the clearest water in the entire Cagliari Gulf.

Buggerru beach
10 Eternal Rodriguez

The beach was conveniently located just a short stroll away from our hotel. Unlike other beaches in the area, it had its own unique charm. With a lifeguard on duty, it provided a safe and picturesque setting. The shoreline consisted of stones and rocks, gradually transitioning into a sandy and shallow sea. Due to our toddler's presence, we didn't venture too far into the water, but she had an absolute blast on this beach. It's advisable to bring your own umbrella and towels, as there are no kiosks offering sun beds and umbrellas. Adjacent to the beach, the town offers a variety of bars, restaurants, and a couple of supermarkets.
