Italy - Sardinia – Undiscovered beaches

The Mediterranean island of Sardinia is blessed with an amazing coastline with countless superb beaches. The 55km long Costa Smeralda in particular on the North East coast, was named after the amazing emerald waters that lap it’s shores. The once wild coastline was developed in the 1950’s into a high-class holiday destination but careful attention was paid to preserving the coast’s natural beauty. With breathtaking sandy beaches, punctuated by tranquil bays and rocky inlets, the developers of Costa Smeralda certainly achieved their aim. The main town on the coast is the ultra fashionable Porto Cervo and with it’s narrow streets and designer boutiques it forms a perfect accessory to the luxurious coastline. The Costa del Sud and the Costa Verde are equally as stunning, with the beauty of their beaches preserved from further development by special ordinances. Sardinia’s beaches are clean, unspoilt and a major asset of this Meditteranean gem.
