One of the Most Authentic Beaches of the Coral Riviera

Porto Ferro, located about twenty kilometers from Alghero, is one of the most evocative beaches on the Coral Riviera. Its wild beauty emerges from the reddish sand dunes that stretch to the sea, the fragrant pine trees offering natural shade, and the crystal-clear waters ranging from turquoise to emerald green. The beach combines freedom and comfort, featuring sun loungers, umbrellas, and dining points that allow you to enjoy the sea without sacrificing services.

Services Available on the Beach

Porto Ferro offers a complete experience even for those seeking convenience. A bar, grill, and pizzeria allow you to enjoy fresh fish dishes or wood-fired pizza with a sea view. Equipped areas and sun loungers provide relaxation while maintaining the natural feel of the location.

Water Sports at Porto Ferro

Active sea lovers will find their paradise at Porto Ferro. Wind and wave conditions make the beach ideal for windsurfing, while SUP and kayaking allow for the exploration of hidden coves. Snorkeling offers the opportunity to discover transparent seabeds, caves, and colorful fish—a unique experience for nature enthusiasts.

The "Three Towers" Trek

For those who love walking, the "Three Towers" trail offers an immersion into nature and history. The path winds through dunes and pine forests to three Spanish towers that once served as Saracen lookout points.

  • Torre Bianca (Airadu): Preserves historical evidence.
  • Torre Negra: Allows for observation of the entire coastline and surrounding dunes.

Porto Ferro is also ideal for those traveling with dogs and for visitors seeking dedicated naturist areas. Specifically reserved zones allow everyone to enjoy the beach in total freedom without disturbing other guests.
