More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Salt air and the Mediterranean’s clear blue set the scene shortly after leaving Cagliari: the minivan hums along the southern curve of Sardinia while low cliffs and scrubby maquis slip by. Within an hour you’ll be standing with sand underfoot at Su Giudeu and Cala Cipolla, beaches framed by golden dunes and shallow reefs that coax swimmers out into calm water. The tour then moves west to Tuerredda, whose bay opens like a concave arm where gentle currents dare you to swim toward the little island offshore.
