Despite having traveled many times in beautiful sea and beaches destinations, I had never been before to the italian island of Sardinia.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both as an italian and as a great beach and sea lover, I had to to remedy this shortcoming quickly<\/span>. So in early July 2017 we went to Sardinia island for the first time. We stayed for 7 days in an Airbnb in Santa Margherita di Pula village, that was our base jump to explore the south western coast of Sardinia.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to arrive in South Sardinia and how to get around?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The only airport in south Sardinia is Cagliari<\/strong>, which ensures good connections with other european cities, even with the lowcost airlines (for example Eurowings and Ryanair). To get around the best way is to rent a car when you arrive at the airport<\/strong>, there are no useful public transports in this area. I suggest you to reserve it in advance<\/strong> (always remember that July and August is very peak season in Italy.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does the southern west coast, between Cagliari and Sant\u2019Antioco, look like?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is rather green and peaceful, even in summer, there are no intensive settlements here, ruining the coast. It is an area still left to nature<\/strong> (and a military settlement too), and this greatly enjoyed us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Areas of natural interest in South Sardinia, lakes and dunes.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The most interesting thing in this area however \u2013 in my opinion \u2013 are not the beaches, but rather the wetlands<\/strong> close to the beaches itself: ponds and salt marshes<\/strong>, home to flamingos<\/strong> and other birds. You\u2019ll have often have to step through this areas to get to some ot these beaches, after leaving the car at the parking, for example at Su Giudeu<\/strong> beach and at Porto Pino dunes beach<\/strong>. These landscapes are sometimes surreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
