Situated just north of Stintino,
at Capo Falcone, La Pelosa is one of the premier beaches in Sardinia. |
 |
The warm, blue, tranquil waters at La Pelosa are ideal
for swimming and bring the crowds flocking in summer. |
 |
Boat trips run to the islands of Piana, seen here across the short strait, and Asinara which is a wildlife reserve. |
 |
Bosa is the only town on the western coast of Nuoro.
Quieter than Alghero it makes for a relaxing day trip. |
 |
Situated 5 km inland, Bosa is ringed by mountains and sea
which contribute to its isolationist atmosphere. |
 |
The Tremo is the only navigable river in Sardinia and leads to the
resort extension at Bosa Marina. |
 |
Tourist development has started to increase around the small resort
of Bosa Marina with its broad sandy beach. |
 |
The coast road between Alghero and Bosa is home to a number of secluded sheltered coves and sandy beaches. |
 |
The beach at La Speranza is about 8km south of Alghero.
Facilities include a snackbar and restaurant. |
 |
Time stands still at Argentiera. Once the biggest producer of silver
in Sardinia, production ceased in 1963. |
 |
There is still some housing in the town and a couple of restaurants
serve summer tourist trade. |
 |
Argentiera is popular with bathers and the beach near the
town, if somewhat grey, has crystal clear waters. |
