Frequently Asked Questions
Ships anchor offshore and tenders set passengers down a few steps from the centre. The village stays compact: everything is explored on foot from the landing stage, with no transport at all.
On Sardinia's north-east coast, at the foot of the Capo Figari headland, where the Costa Smeralda begins unrolling its transparent water. The islet of Figarolo, a limestone pyramid set on the sea, watches over the bay.
Yes, the sand starts almost in the heart of the village. Several beaches follow one another along the shore, reachable without any transport, with shallow water turning turquoise within the first few metres.
They visit the bay regularly, so much so that watching them has become one of visitors' favourite activities. From the quay it is not unusual to spot their fins passing between the boats. No guarantee, of course.
By following the coastal path south, about thirty minutes' walk from the village. Two small golden beaches share the space with emerging rocks, facing Figarolo, in the protected Capo Figari zone. The pines come down almost to the water.
Two simple options. Swimming: the seafront promenade, a village beach, then Cala Moresca on foot. Walking: the Capo Figari path up to the old military battery and its lighthouse, with a full-circle view over the bay and the Gallura mountains.
The climb crosses scrubland and requires sturdy shoes and water. The reward is measured in kilometres of sea spread beneath the cliffs, with the outlines of neighbouring islands on clear days. This is not a beachfront stroll.
An underwater museum displaying submerged works in the bay. You view them while snorkelling or from a glass-bottomed boat. The seabed also quickly reveals dense marine life for anyone with mask and snorkel.
Gallura cooking: grilled fish, seafood fregola, pecorino and Vermentino whites grown on the granite hills. The seafront terraces serve the morning catch.
The euro. Italian and Gallurese Sardinian are spoken; English is used in seafront businesses in season. Keep cash: this is a fishing village, not an international resort, and cards are not accepted everywhere.
