Golfo di Marinella

Golfo di Marinella is a genuinely pretty bay on the northeastern tip of Sardinia, stretching along a 1 km shoreline of fine white sand fringed by clear turquoise water. It's one of the more popular spots around Golfo Aranci, so arriving early pays off if you want a good patch of beach before the crowds roll in. The gulf is dotted with small inlets that break up the coastline and give it that classic Gallura character — rugged granite backdrops, shallow water close to shore, and that unmistakable Sardinian blue.
