Spiaggia di Porto Giunco

Porto Giunco is one of Sardinia's most iconic stretches of coastline, where long white sands and brilliant turquoise water back up against the historic Torre di Porto Giunco on the headland. You'll anchor off a beach that regularly tops best-of lists for the region, with the protected lagoon of Notteri just behind it — a flamingo habitat that makes this spot genuinely unlike anywhere else nearby. Worth knowing: posidonia seagrass tends to pile up near the tower end, so aim for the clearer central stretch for the best holding and water colour.
