Since you are spending your holiday in Porto Torres or Stintino, you won’t return home without seeing the most beautiful beaches of Asinara, which is located nearby, a short distance from the coast. And here there are the six beaches that you shouldn’t really miss.
According to many, this is the most beautiful beach on the entire island. It is surmounted by an Aragonese tower dating back to 1660. Its sand is very white and its waters transparent.
Just like Cala d’Arena, it is a white sandy beach lapped by a turquoise sea. Thanks to its great naturalistic importance, Cala Sant’Andrea can only be visited if accompanied by the guides of the Asinara Park.
It is located at the eastern end of the island. It is one of the few beaches on Asinara where swimming is allowed: it is really worth it.
Splendid sea, low hills covered with Mediterranean scrub, a luxuriant and colourful underwater life: this is Cala Trabuccato, near the Aragonese tower. Bathing is prohibited on this beach, but it is possible to get there on authorized boats.
This is the starting point of the several itineraries that will bring you to discover Asinara Island.
You can get there from Cala Trabuccato. In Cala d’Oliva there is a small pier where boats from Stintino and Porto Torres dock. Here there are two splendid beaches: one south of the promontory, the other north.
To get to Asinara, all you have to do is board one of the boats that leave every day, and especially in the summer, from the ports of Stintino and Porto Torres, on the northern coast of Sardinia (Porto Torres is also one of the main ports for the ferries to Sardinia).
The ferry crossing takes 1 hour from Stintino, and 1 hour and 30 minutes from Porto Torres. In the ports of these two towns, you’ll find all the information you need about timetables and tickets.
To visit Asinara, you have several solutions available, such as excursions, guided tours, on foot, by bicycle, by canoe, even on horseback. More info here:
