7 Days Boat Itinerary from Portisco to San Teodoro

Day 1: from Portisco to Golfo Aranci

Set sail from Portisco, the first stop is one of the most famous coastal resorts in the area,

Golfo Aranci is a very well-kept town with a historic center full of trendy shops and a modern promenade with well-equipped and served beaches. It is worthwhile to spend your first day of travel here to better prepare ourselves for the tour that awaits us.

Day 2: from Golfo Aranci to Tavolara Island

Not far from Golfo Aranci is Tavolara, an island emerging from the sea like a granite colossus dotted with greenery and Mediterranean scrub. An excellent destination for climbing lovers, Tavolara is a mountain 560 meters high and four kilometers long, characterized by impervious rocks and splendid chromatic shades like the green of juniper, rosemary, and mastic, in combination with the blue and emerald green of the waters around. Tavolara island symbolizes an unforgettable spectacle: the marine protected area of Tavolara-Punta Coda Cavallo.

Day 3: from Tavolara Island to Molara Island

Molara Island, part of the marine protected area of Tavolara and Capo Coda Cavallo, is a jewel of rock and Mediterranean scrub in the Gallura Sea.

A few kilometers away from the mainland, Molara is unfortunately not freely accessible as it is privately owned. The island can only be visited by contacting the Molara Cultural Association, which manages the tourist flow.

Different speech for the sea that surrounds it stormed, especially in summer, by boaters who stop in front of the island, particularly in the waters called pools, where the sea is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in the Mediterranean.

Day 4: from Molara Island to Capo Coda Cavallo

One of Sardinia’s symbols, the Capo Coda Cavallo peninsula is one of the most spectacular stretches of the Sardinian coast. It is surrounded by extraordinarily white beaches and crystal clear waters that bathe a land rich in nature and biodiversity.

This small peninsula is characterized by sandy coves and cliffs covered by Mediterranean scrub that gives off juniper and myrtle scents, creating one of the most suggestive coastal scenarios in the Mediterranean. The Coda Cavallo beach, which gives its name to the peninsula, is famous for its particular shape and stretch of sea, resembling a lagoon of various blue colors.

During summer, navigation in these waters is almost guaranteed with any wind and the sea is generally calm.

Finally, the marine area of Tavolara-Capo Coda Cavallo is also ideal for diving. Many submarine itineraries can be practiced among caves, schools of colored fish, and red starfish.

Day 5: from Capo Coda Cavallo to Cala Brandinchi

It is probably the most coveted beach in San Teodoro, a great Sardinian resort, and one of the most famous beaches in Gallura.

Cala Brandinchi leaves its visitors feeling like they are in the Caribbean; not surprisingly, it is called ‘the little Tahiti’.

Its exotic beauty has allowed all the major tour operators to list it among the 15 most beautiful in Sardinia.

It is characterized by a long, narrow strip of white, delicate, and compact sand that plunges into clear, crystalline water surrounded by sandy dunes covered with Mediterranean scrub. The seabed is very shallow for tens of meters, with a ‘pool effect’, ideal for swimming and children’s games. Here, the rocks emerge from the sandy bottom, a habitat for a rich marine fauna, a snorkeler’s paradise.

Day 6: from Cala Brandinchi to Isuledda beach

While staying in San Teodoro, we discovered another fantastic beach: Isuledda. It is a jewel of the north-eastern coast, representing the southern limit of the marine area of Tavolara. It is an expanse of light and fine sand that plunges into infinite shades of blue, with a dense Mediterranean scrub behind it.

A spectacular beach, about half a kilometer long, which perfectly summarizes all the characteristics of the other ‘pearls’ of San Teodoro: white and silky sand, waters with shades ranging from turquoise to emerald and crystal clear waters.
