10 Of the Best Beaches in Sardinia

(according to Villas Sardinia Italy that is!)

One fantastic feature that makes Italy a favorite of many tourists is the presence of an avalanche of beaches. But among the beautiful beaches in the country, Italians – and even regular visitors – admit that those beaches in Sardinia are particularly unique and soothing.
With their air of exclusivity and sculptural rocks bordering them, beaches in Sardinia are a beauty to behold. The pure snow-white beaches are the reasons why Sardinia is often likened to the Caribbean.
Sardinia beaches offer variety and indulgence but before you get spoilt for choice, here are the top 10 beaches in Sardinia you should visit.

 

La Pelosa beach Stintino Italy - Villa Rental Sardinia

#1 La Pelosa beach – Stintino

La Pelosa is a rare paradise of beauty sitting in the heart of the Mediterranean. Located in the Gulf of Asinara, the La Pelosa beach is not only one of the most beautiful beaches in Italy, but entire Europe. When thin sand and low backwater meets, what you have is shallow water as seen in La Pelosa. Right opposite of the beach is an Aragonese tower dating as far back as the 15th century. This tower is the symbol of Pelosa and can be reached on foot after crossing the Pelosetta cove. This beach is said to have derived its name La Pelosa (the hairy) from the presence of sea straw in the area.
