Cala di Mezzo

Cala di Mezzo sits tucked along the coastline near Porto Torres, a compact bay with that classic Sardinian clarity to the water that makes you want to jump straight in. The name literally means 'middle cove,' and it delivers on that sheltered, in-between feel — protected enough to anchor comfortably while still close to the Roman ruins and the old port of Porto Torres, one of the island's most historically layered towns. The sea here tends to run crystal clear over a mixed sand and rock bottom, and the surrounding scrubland keeps the scene pretty unspoiled.
