Four kilometres of paradise: Cea is a bright golden beach with excellent water quality. The gently sloping beach with crystal-clear water is ideal for families with children. A particular highlight is the view of the red, shimmering rocks Is Scoglius Arrubius, which is also a dream location for divers.Coccorocci
Coccorocci is a musical beach in all respects: the tiny, multicoloured stones on Sardinia’s largest pebble beach create their very own melody in the water. The view of the Monti Ferru and Cartucceddu mountain ranges is also fascinating. The crystal-clear water and juniper trees skirting the beach make Coccorocci a truly extraordinary beach.

Beaches in detail
Lido di Orrì
The extensive beach of Orrì is without doubt one of the most beautiful beaches in Sardinia. The fine, white sand and the very
low water depth near the shore make it an ideal beach for families with children. On the beach you will find sun umbrellas,
loungers and boats for hire. There are a variety of beach bars and restaurants.
Spiaggia dei Milanesi
This little bay of fine golden sand is surrounded by smooth rocks and juniper woods. The easily accessible beach is located south of the main beach of Lido di Orrì.
Foxi Lioni - Orri
The beach Foxi Lioni is about 1 Km long. It is a fine, white sand beach with smooth granite rocks and crystal-clear water. It joins south at the Lido di Orrì. In the summer months you can rent
sun umbrellas, sun beds and pedal boats and at the beach bar you can buy fresh drinks and snacks. The beach is well suited for families with children, because it slopes slowly into the shallow
sea. Take the SS 125 in direction Lido Orrì; pass the Spiaggia dei Milanesi and continue to the beach of Foxi Lioni.
Cala Ginepro - Tortoli
This bay is adjacent to a small juniper wood, hence its name. This beach is made of fine sand and smooth rocks. Due to the favorable wind conditions, the beach is also frequented by wind surfers. Take the directions to Lido Orrì and then follow the signs. Chairs and umbrellas can be rented.
Cea - Bari Sardo
This one-kilometer-long sandy beach was, until recently, a true secret. Highlights include two high red cliffs, only a few hundred yards in front of the beach from which some brave divers jump into the deep water. It is possible to hire umbrellas, sun beds and pedal boats. Take the SS 125 from Tortoli towards Bari Sardo. Shortly before Bari Sardo follow the signs for Cea.
Punta Niedda - Bari Sardo
