Sardinia’s Northern coast is very captivating and perfect for those who love long stretches of sandy beaches. If you choose to spend your holidays in Castelsardo, the best way to discover the coast is via its beaches.
From Isola Rossa to Castelsardo, the coastline is not very rugged and features long stretches of sand.
Its exposure to winds, especially the famous Mistral wind coming from North-West, makes this beach perfect for surfing enthusiasts: kite surfing, long board and wind surfing can be practiced in this part of Sardinia.
