Porto San Paolo
Porto San Paolo sits on the northeastern Sardinian coast about 20 km south of Olbia, tucked into a stretch of sea facing the Isola Tavolara — one of the most dramatic limestone monoliths in the Mediterranean. The marina gives you a solid base for exploring the protected waters around Tavolara and the nearby Marine Protected Area, with services on hand and the laid-back village of Loiri Porto San Paolo just a short walk away. The combo of rugged island scenery and clear Gallura waters makes this one of those spots that quietly outshines flashier neighbors.
