Itinerary
Eight days of beach life in North Sardinia, based mostly at Porto Pollo, from Olbia out to the Costa Smeralda. Rental cars take us between Del Principe beach and Rena Majore, both for snorkelling, and whole days go to surfing, windsurfing, sailing, SUP and kayaking inland at Valledoria. We also reach the Maddalena Archipelago and its 60 islands, then Caprera for Garibaldi's home-museum and Cala Coticcio, the cove renamed Tahiti. The last beach day is Liscia Ruja at Porto Cervo. Culture is one museum; the rest is sea, sport, sunsets, chiringuitos and nights on the sand.


Welcome to Sardinia, meeting up in Olbia
Welcome to Sardinia!
Round trip flights are not included in the package, so you can choose from where and when you want to fly. This is to give you maximum freedom of choice!
Flights are your own choice, so the trip really starts when the group meets and the rental cars are ours.
We gather in Olbia, pick up the cars, settle in, then head out to explore the area around us.
Dinner is seafood, fresh from the day's catch, then down to the beach, where there are always parties and live music, for a first toast.

Del Principe beach and Caribbean water
Caribbean vibes
First full beach day, and it sets the tone: white sand, clear water, nowhere else to be.
Del Principe Beach is one of the most beautiful on the Costa Smeralda, a thin strip of fine white sand over a bay of crystal-clear water with a Caribbean vibe, and we swim.
Deep in the blue sea
Then snorkelling, because the marine wildlife under those waves is the point, before we get back to Porto Pollo for dinner, nightlife on the beach and a moonlight tan.

Rena Majore, boards and Valle della Luna
Get on the board!
More sport today, then a move along the coast to a beach the hippies named after the moon.
We try surfing, windsurfing or SUP first: one day won't make anyone a pro, but the point is being on the board.
Valle della Luna
Then Rena Majore, not far from Porto Pollo: a kiosk lunch, snorkelling with mask and fins, sunset with a cold beer, and the option of staying on for the moonlight the hippie communities called Moon Valley, Valle della Luna.

Water sports and the Maddalena Archipelago
Let's get wet!
Not a sleeping-on-the-sand day. The morning stays at base, the afternoon goes out to the islands.
In Porto Pollo we pick our water sport: surf, windsurf, sail or SUP, with the only challenge being to stay upright.
Small Paradise
In the afternoon we reach La Maddalena, 60 small islands with their own flora and fauna, and the local bottlenose dolphins turn up when they feel like it.

Caprera, Garibaldi's museum and Cala Coticcio
A little bit of culture...
One visit to La Maddalena wasn't enough, so we go back for a single island and give it the whole day.
Caprera is all postcard landscapes. We start at Garibaldi's home-museum, where he first landed in 1855, then eat our packed lunch and head for the coast.
...and a little bit of Tahiti!
The afternoon is Cala Coticcio, renamed Tahiti for good reason: the most exotic beach on the island, fine white sand, deep clear water, and a walk in to reach it.

Kayaking inland at Valledoria
Kayak time
No beach today. We go inland instead, and the whole day belongs to the kayaks.
Early rise, solid breakfast, then Valledoria: we decide the plan together, but the rowing is the point and the resting can wait for tomorrow.
Beach Chiringuitos
The route shows a Sardinia we haven't seen, coloured flora and ochre-coloured rocks, and we're back at Porto Pollo by dinner, still up for a beach walk and a chiringuito.

Porto Cervo and Liscia Ruja beach
Surf or bed time?
Last full day, and it splits: a lazy morning or one more go at the waves, then the biggest beach around.
Whoever needs the bed can keep it all morning; whoever wants the board can try surfing again at Porto Pollo.
Porto Cervo!
Then Porto Cervo and Liscia Ruja, the biggest beach on the Costa Smeralda, for swimming and doing very little, before the last dinner and a toast to the group.
Goodbye Sardinia, check-out day
Check out and goodbye
Nothing left to catch but a flight, and the trip ends where the group does.
Check-out, then a last coffee and the usual swapping of photos and contacts.
Goodbye Sardinia, until the next WeRoad adventure.
