Porto Ferro (near Alghero)
A long, wilder beach with darker sand, dunes and pine trees. Naturists tend to stay further away from the main entrances, towards the watchtowers, where there is more peace and space. It is often windy here and the waves can get quite big.
Baia delle Ninfe (Porto Conte)
A smaller, quiet beach tucked away in a nature area. An officially recognised spot for naturists, but with no facilities whatsoever. Ideal for those looking for silence and as few people as possible.
Naraccu Nieddu
A little-known, almost deserted beach in the north-west of Sardinia. No bars, no services – just pure nature and absolute privacy. A perfect spot for a peaceful day away from the crowds.
Piscinas (Costa Verde)
A huge beach with towering sand dunes that rank among the largest in Europe. Thanks to its sheer size it offers plenty of space for naturists too, even though it is not officially designated.
Porto PinoA long white-sand beach with beautiful dunes in the south-west of the island. In the more remote stretches, naturists are a common sight, especially outside the high season.
Cala del Cefalo
A smaller cove with crystal-clear water in the north of Sardinia. It is harder to reach, which means fewer people and more peace and quiet. Naturism here is unofficial but tolerated.

This is the kind of thing you won’t read much about in the usual guidebooks. At first glance, Sardinia may look like a destination full of well-groomed beaches and luxury resorts, but the reality is often completely different. Just turn off the main road, park somewhere along a dusty track and walk a few minutes – and suddenly you are in a place where there is nobody around.
Naturism here doesn’t work on the principle of big designated beaches or resorts. It is rather low-key and natural. People simply find their own quiet corner away from the crowds and enjoy the sea their own way. Nobody makes a fuss, nobody comments – as long as you respect those around you, you’re fine.
