Golfo di Arzachena
The Golfo di Arzachena is a sheltered inlet tucked just behind the glitzy Costa Smeralda on Sardinia's northeast coast, offering a noticeably calmer and more local alternative to the packed resort beaches nearby. The bay's gently sloping sandy beach makes it especially good if you've got kids in tow, and the small town of Cannigione sits right on the water with cafes, restaurants, and basic provisions within easy reach. It's a great base for exploring the wider area without the crowds or price tags of Porto Cervo.
