The island of Magdalena is very beautiful 👍

The bay was a dream, the bike path there was breakneck! We had to push and carry the bike more than we could ride, and definitely NO ONE has ever visited the three adjacent bays by bike (except us 😂😂). Please don't try this.

If you don't have time to go to the island of Maddalena, you should at least enjoy the magnificent view from the rest area on the panoramic road above Palau.

The Capo d'Orso salt pans, located on the north-western coast of Sardinia, are a natural area of great interest, famous for the production of sea salt. This landscape of great beauty is characterized by shallow bodies of water and evaporation basins, where salt is still harvested using traditional methods. In addition to being a place of production, the salt pans also offer an excellent opportunity to cycle immersed in nature, with a panoramic view of the sea and the surrounding mountains.

A beautiful bay, but not easy to reach. The last part of the path involves climbing over rocks. But you are practically alone in the bay. A wonderful sandy beach with very few stones, but with countless mini mussels and sea snails. When we visited, there was an octopus about 40cm long lying in the shallow water with its arms outstretched, which then swam lazily to the side. On the way we discovered Cala Napoletana, which is possibly even more beautiful.

Cala Serena is worth a hike. A rocky path with beautiful views leads from Cala Garibaldi to the bay. Thanks to the somewhat difficult access, the bay is only sparsely visited. Particularly striking is the wetland with a lake and lush vegetation directly behind the beach. The bay is extremely beautiful for swimming: no rocks, but a wonderful fine sandy bottom with incredibly clear water that shines turquoise in the sun. Small silver fish with a distinctive black spot on the base of their tails populate the underwater world. The bay is shallow and deeply indented, making it ideal for children.
