Beaches of Sardinia in autumn: here you have a great 5-stage itinerary

Autumn. A holiday in this season means tranquillity, no crowd of tourists, special atmospheres. It also means beaches and the chance to plunge in the sea for the last time of the year. Exactly your wish. And that’s exactly what Sardinia will offer you.

A unique itinerary

We recommend a very special itinerary starting from Bosa Marina, in the province of Oristano (while you are there, you could also take the panoramic road Alghero-Bosa). From here, you will move towards south, following the coast, and you will reach the other stages of the itinerary. And you will need a car.

Bosa Marina

Starting from Bosa (the “kingdom” of Malvasia, one of the best Sardinian wines), it takes just ten minutes to get to Bosa Marina. It is a two-kilometre-long beach, easy to reach and equipped with many services.

Porto Alabe

Here, the situation changes radically. You will admire a landscape that can be defined with a simple adjective: wild. The water is a spectacle, the seabed immediately becomes deep. However, the Porto Alabe beach is not equipped.

Is Arenas

Once, here there was one of the deserts of Europe. Then, the hand of man created a 1500-hectare forest that grew spontaneously: now junipers, mastic trees, pines and acacias delimit the progress of the dunes. And visitors can admire Is Arenas, which is one of the longest beaches in Sardinia (six kilometres).

Sa Mesa Longa

It is located near Is Arenas. Sa Mesa Lunga is a long sandy crescent. Where the subsoil preserves priceless fossil finds.

Torre Grande

Sandy, very large, in autumn the beach of Torre Grande offers its most intimate, quiet side (Torre Grande, among other things, is one of the best beaches for children in Sardinia).

How to get to Bosa Marina

To reach Bosa Marina, the starting point of this particular itinerary, from Porto Torres, one of the main ports for the ferries to Sardinia, you just have to:

• Take E25 towards south;
• Just before arriving in Macomer, take strada statale 129 bis following the road signs to Bosa Marina.

By car, it takes about one hour and thirty minutes.
