The beaches of Sardinia, like a fancy necklace of bright beads around the neck of a beautiful Italian woman, where each element is unique, and each bead is precious a pearl that is not like the other ... But better than any loud and pompous words about the beauty of these places will tell simple facts. For example, very few people know that the coast of Sardinia stretched for 1850 km, which is (just think!) The fourth part of all the beaches of Italy. And, as the Italians themselves admit, the best part is.

There are about 360 beaches on the island, and not even every indigenous inhabitant of Sardinia will be able to list them all - sand, pebble, rocky, and grassy stretches of the coast. Many of which are landscaped, but meet also romantically wild. Another feature of Sardinia - here all the beaches are colorful: golden, snow-white, pink, there are long and tiny, rice, Caribbean and many more.

The most popular, of course, white-sand beaches of the famous Costa Smeralda. "The shore of the rich and famous" boasts several luxury beaches, for example, Spiaja delle Principe - a long crescent of shimmering white sand, which accentuates the blotches of scarlet poppy at the edges and azure color of the water. Or Lissia Rouge, which is located between juniper and olive hills. And also Capriccioli, where families with children are striving, because the local sand is remarkable for its silkiness and tenderness.

Do you want something unusual? Visit the largest pebbly beach of Sardinia Spiaggia Coccorocci, which is located near the city of Gairo . This part of the coast is not just white or golden - it's speckled! The local dunes consist of a crushed porphyry crushed stone of dark color that dilutes the veins of pink, gray and green tones . To classy color beaches can be attributed to Sarkitt, which is distinguished by the color of dark ocher with a golden ebb and the pink portion of the shore on the island of Budelli (the archipelago of La -Maddalena), whose coral coast is called - Spiagia-Roza . Barbie's admirers will also like in Cala Mariola (near the Orosei Bay), whose shore is strewn with pink marble chips, and in Baia Sardinia, just 5 km from Porto -Church .

I will mention In the beginning rice paddies are not at all a fantasy of admirers of land: on the west coast of Sardinia there are the beaches of Mari-Ermi and Iz-Arutas, where instead of the usual sand lie small quartz pebbles polished for thousands of years by the sea. In appearance, they resemble rice kernels or precious beads. And let them walk on them is not very easy, but it's useful and pleasant to lie - a gentle massage of quartz is similar to the experience with a spa procedure

The "awarded" beaches of Sardinia can be singled out as a separate category (by the way, this island can boast the largest number of kilometers of coastline marked by the Blue Flag). For example, Costa Rei, which is 50 km to the north-west of Cagliari, earned an honorable piece of cloth of the color of the sky for granite rocks, emerald hills, clear sea, underwater reefs and 8 km of clean sand. The center of this coast, Piscina Rei, is famous for its marine lilies and a protected plantation of red juniper.

One can not help but mention the so-called "elite beaches" of Sardinia, which are mostly in the south of the island. First of all, they include Kiya and Pula, the ancient Roman towns that have turned into fashionable resorts.
