The Sardinia Region
 Sardinia
has a typical mediterranean climate and is a place where you can
have an idyllic vacation and discover wonderful places that lie
off the beaten track. The island, which is elongated in shape,
extends from north to south. The vegetation of Sardinia’s
northern and southern regions varies quite a bit as do the island’s
cultural traditions, and Sardinians have adapted to these differences
in their natural environment. The best known area in Sardinia
is Costa Smeralda with its unique small sandy beaches nestled
among many different types of cliffs that border the coast’s
numerous bays.
Valledoria / Anglona Area
Valledoria is close to many historic sites
such as Elephant Rock, Castelsardo and is at the mouth of the
Coghinas River which has excellent conditions for surfing, windsurfing
and horse riding.
Festivals are frequent and traditional throughout
the year.

Beaches
The nearest beach is San Pietra. This is about
a 20-minute walk through the town. There is free parking but during
August space is of a premium. This long beautiful beach also has
very fine sandy dunes but can have strong waves in windy conditions.
A bar/café and restaurant is also at this site. This is
also the mouth of the Coghinas River.
 
La Ciaccia beach is about a 5-minute drive. This
is a sandy beach with a steep shelf and strong waves. Parking
is free but limited. Not really suitable for young children due
to the steep shelf in the sea but has a play area adjoining a
bar/restaurant.
Badesi beach is about a 10-minute drive and is very
sandy but again with a steep sea shelf. Parking has to be paid
at the tourist information office at the sea front.
Isola Rossa is about a 15-minute drive. Beautiful,
flat sandy beach with free parking. As is situated in a cove has
very calm waters. Good amenities such as bars/restaurants, the
Waterpark and shops close by.
