Boating Activities in La Gallura

If you dream of waters that rival those of tropical paradises, northern Sardinia offers coastal scenery unlike anywhere else in the world—to be experienced and discovered right from the sea.

One of the most spectacular experiences is undoubtedly the excursion to the La Maddalena Archipelago. Although it’s a bit of a distance from the resort, it’s a must-see destination: a group of islands and islets with pristine white-sand beaches and dazzling turquoise waters, best explored on a boat tour through hidden coves and wind-sculpted rocks.

Looking north, you can venture as far as the Corsican archipelago: Lavezzi, with its natural pools of crystal-clear water and shallow seabeds ideal for swimming; Cavallino, an exclusive, private island with a quiet charm; and Isola Piana, a little gem between Sardinia and Corsica where a narrow strip of white sand emerges from the clear, shallow waters.

For those seeking wind and adrenaline, Porto Pollo, a legendary destination for windsurfing and kitesurfing, is located near Palau. Not far away, the very long beach at Porto Liscia (also known as La Liccia) is perfect for those who want to combine unspoiled nature with trips out to sea.
