Not everyone knows that in Sardinia you can’t watch the sun set over the sea everywhere: the most spectacular views are found along the western coast. Towns like Alghero, Bosa, Stintino, Costa Verde and Sant’Antioco offer breathtaking sunsets, where the sky turns orange, pink and purple.
If you are in Alghero and want to witness the magic of the sun diving into the horizon, here are the top panoramic spots you shouldn’t miss.
Alghero Bastions and Lungomare Barcellona
The historic center of Alghero, surrounded by its imposing bastions, is one of the most charming places to enjoy the sunset. Walking along these ancient walls at dusk means watching golden reflections light up the waves, while the panoramic terraces offer direct sea views.
Another perfect option is the seafront promenade connecting the old town to the city beaches: here you can relax on a bench facing the sea or sip an aperitif in one of the many bars, with the sun slowly disappearing on the horizon.
Maria Pia Beach
If you prefer the feeling of sand beneath your feet, Maria Pia Beach is ideal. Just minutes from the city center, it stretches out with golden sand framed by dunes and pine trees. At sunset, the atmosphere becomes peaceful and romantic—perfect for a walk or an unforgettable photo shoot.
Mugoni Beach
Located inside the Porto Conte Natural Park, Mugoni Beach is a sheltered bay where the calm sea reflects the colors of the sky. The surrounding green vegetation creates an intimate and evocative setting, perfect for those who want to enjoy a tranquil sunset immersed in nature.
Capo Caccia
One of Alghero’s iconic landmarks, Capo Caccia is a rocky headland dominating the gulf. Sunsets here are among the most spectacular in Sardinia: the sun’s rays paint the limestone cliffs in shades of red and gold, offering a scene that stays with you forever.
Sunset in Stintino
If you want to venture further north, Stintino with its famous La Pelosa Beach offers postcard-perfect sunsets. The view of the Asinara and Piana islands makes the spectacle even more evocative, with golden reflections lighting up the crystal-clear waters.
Sunset in Bosa
Bosa, a picturesque medieval town crossed by the Temo River, offers a unique sunset from both the coast and the Malaspina Castle. From above, you can watch the sun descend behind the sea, with warm hues blending into the colorful houses of the historic center.

Among all the places, Porto Ferro Beach is considered one of the must-see spots to admire the sunset in Sardinia. Wild and authentic, with golden dunes, Aragonese towers and an open sea, it offers an unforgettable view every evening.
Here you can take part in unique experiences such as the Sun Salutation, a yoga practice that at sunset becomes truly special. In summer you’ll also find beach aperitifs and events with live music or DJ sets, turning the sunset into an experience halfway between relaxation and celebration.
