More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from Alghero’s marina and the city peels away behind you—stone walls, fishing boats, and voices shrinking as the dinghy slips into open water. The skipper eases the throttle and the coastline stretches into chalky cliffs that watch the sea; the wind tugs at your hair, the water dares you to dive in. Stops are quick, intimate: Cala Inferno’s hidden shelves, the emerald pools of Cala Dragunara and the shallow turquoise of Capo Galera.
