Feature-length travel piece focusing on Stintino and the north-west coast: the beauty and overtourism issues at La Pelosa, alternative nearby beaches, conservation measures, and suggestions for authentic, sustainable visits to the area and Asinara National Park.

Cala Goloritzé

Baunei (Gulf of Orosei), Ogliastra, Sardinia

Created after a 1962 landslide, Cala Goloritzé is famous for its towering limestone pinnacle and natural arch; declared a Natural Monument and later a national monument to preserve its environment.

La Pelosa Beach (Spiaggia La Pelosa)

Stintino, Province of Sassari, northwest Sardinia

La Pelosa is renowned for its shallow, turquoise water and the nearby Torre della Pelosa watchtower; due to erosion and conservation measures access is limited and managed seasonally to protect the shoreline.

Grotta di Nettuno (Neptune’s Grotto)

Capo Caccia, near Alghero, Province of Sassari, Sardinia

A sea cave discovered by fishermen in the 18th century, Neptune’s Grotto features impressive stalactites, stalagmites and a saltwater lake; it has been a show cave for decades and is accessed by boat or the cliff stairway.

Nuraghe Santu Antine

Torralba, Province of Sassari, central-northern Sardinia

One of the largest and most complex nuraghi on the island, Santu Antine dates to the Bronze Age and showcases massive basalt construction, multi-level towers and internal corbelled chambers — a key site for understanding the Nuragic civilization.

Arcipelago di La Maddalena (Maddalena Archipelago National Park)

La Maddalena area, northeastern Sardinia (archipelago)

Established as a geomarine national park in the 1990s, the archipelago protects islands, marine habitats and coastline; it’s famed for pristine bays, scenic sailing routes and biodiversity.

Visit Cala Goloritzé (Gulf of Orosei)

A small, iconic cove of white pebbles, turquoise water and a dramatic 143 m limestone pinnacle reached by boat or a scenic hike.

One of Sardinia’s most photogenic beaches and a protected natural monument; ideal for swimming, snorkeling and dramatic coastal photography.

Relax at La Pelosa (Stintino)

Shallow, incredibly clear turquoise water framed by a historic watchtower and soft white sand on the northwest tip of Sardinia.

World-famous for Caribbean-like water and shallow seabed; access is managed to protect the beach, making it a controlled but unmissable experience.

Boat trip and island-hopping in La Maddalena Archipelago

Day trips or overnight stays exploring islands, hidden coves and crystal waters in a protected geomarine national park.

Offers some of the best sailing, snorkeling and secluded beaches in the Mediterranean, with extraordinary sea clarity and island villages to explore.

Explore a nuraghe complex (e.g., Santu Antine)

Visit Bronze Age megalithic towers (nuraghi) and archaeological sites that are unique to Sardinia’s prehistoric Nuragic civilization.

Nuraghi are Sardinia’s defining ancient monuments — impressive stone architecture that reveals the island’s deep pre-Roman history.

Visit Neptune’s Grotto (Grotta di Nettuno) at Capo Caccia

A spectacular sea cave with lit stalactites, stalagmites and a saltwater lake reached by sea or via the dramatic Escala del Cabirol stairway.

A dramatic subterranean spectacle combining geological wonder and coastal scenery; guided tours make the cave accessible and memorable.
