Southern Sardinia: warmer, cheaper, less crowded than the north — beaches just as good. Villasimius (Porto Giunco + flamingos), Chia (dunes + towers), Tuerredda (lagoon), Costa Verde (60m dunes).
Twin beaches + PINK FLAMINGOS in the lagoon behind. THE image of south Sardinia.
Lagoon bay, wade to islet. Warmest water on the island. 5 parking.
Wide sand, shallow water, tidal island at low water. Juniper dunes behind.
DESERT DUNES 60m high meeting the sea. No facilities, no crowds. 4x4 or long walk.
"Painted Sea". Pebble cove 20 min from Cagliari. The water color justifies the name.
Small cove between rocks. Shallow, calm, granite backdrop. Less crowded than Su Giudeu.
Fly into Cagliari. Southern beaches 30-90 min drive. Hotels 60-150/night (half the north).
