Punta delle Vacche Bay

Punta delle Vacche is one of those spots locals genuinely try to keep to themselves — a tiny 30-meter cove tucked into the Gallura coastline with the full Sardinian colour palette: powdery white sand, blush-pink granite rocks, and water shifting from turquoise to deep blue. It's strikingly beautiful, but gets crowded fast given its size, so aim for early morning or shoulder season if you want any breathing room.
