Turquoise water of the Gulf of Orosei
πŸ–οΈ

Beaches

The Gulf of Orosei has some of the most beautiful, unspoilt beaches in the Mediterranean β€” miles of white sand and crystal-clear turquoise water. Below are our favourites, roughly from the most breathtaking down, each with a Google Maps link for directions.

A note on parking: some beaches have a paid car park, others only free parking on the road nearby, and a few charge for access and must be booked ahead. Most beaches have no beach service β€” your home comes with complimentary sun umbrellas and towels to bring along.
