In the east of Sardinia, we recommend visiting the beaches of Villasimius, Spiaggia del Riso, Capo Carbonara and Simius. Visit the popular Costa Rei resort area and admire the beautiful reefs and cliffs of the Cala Gonone area. Parents with children love La Pelosa, a shallow beach just north of Alghero.
The spacious sandy beaches of San Teodoro are similar to the tropical Caribbean coastline. In the picturesque Costa Esmeralda, small, cozy coves alternate with long strips of fine white sand. According to tourists, while on holiday in Sardinia, it is worth visiting the Rena Bianca beach in Santa Teresa di Gallura and on the Marinedda beach in the fishing village of Isola Rossa.
Many beaches in Sardinia have all the necessary infrastructure. A set of two sun loungers and a sun umbrella costs 8-19 €. The shower is also paid - 1 €.

Minuses:

- At the peak of the summer season, everything is very expensive.
- In shallow waters, sea urchins are found.
- Buses between resorts do not always run on schedule.
Elena: "I found it inconvenient to travel around the island by bus due to the lack of clear information at the station and the English-speaking staff."
By bus, you can not get to all the sights of the island. Taxis are expensive. In addition, taxi drivers only speak Italian. For independent travel, rent a car. Unlike mainland Italy, there are no toll roads here, so you can save money. Visit the north of Sardinia and see the resort for wealthy people - Olbia. Travel south to the largest city on the island of Cagliari. Explore small, picturesque villages and sandy beaches.
Penall: "We rented it from a local. We agreed that he would bring the car to the hotel and then pick it up. The three-day rent cost 210 euros with a child seat. No documents were signed, the money on the card was not frozen."
Lots of budget accommodation in the south of the island. In some hotels, the infrastructure is so developed that tourists spend their entire vacation on the territory of the hotel.
In hot climates, life proceeds according to its own schedule and does not always correspond to the desires of tourists. Sardis traditionally interrupt work for a long day's siesta. Shops in Sardinia are open from 8:00 to 13:00 and from 17:00 to 22:00. Cafes can feed visitors in the morning, but most establishments open in the evening from 19: 00-19: 30.
