Sardinia

Sardinia, Italy

Classic Sardinia water: clear, with occasional limestone rocks and minimal waves

The coastline of Sardinia, not unlike neighbouring French Corsica, is pocked with gorgeous little white sand bays lapped by crystal turquoise waters, not only the pricey bit of the island, north-east Costa Smeralda. Recently the Sardinian President prohibited any further building within two kms [1.25m] of the sea, so hopefully this glorious coastline will continue unspoilt for a long time [or at least until a more corrupt politician gets into power].

Waters are crystal clear, the sun shines a lot, the coast is almost 2,000kms of fish-friendly rocks and the island has a lot of dive centres. Sardinia is an island surrounded by clear, azur water and welcoming white-sand bays separated by spectacularly jagged rock formations and reliable winds. Sail boat charter, lessons, crewed tours and more are popular so book ahead.
