About this tour
This eight-hour coastal run from Cagliari takes you south to two standout beaches on Sardinia's southwestern edge: Chia and Tuerredda. You'll start at Su Giudeu, where dunes and juniper scrub frame the shoreline, then push on to Tuerredda's sheltered bay—a proper swimmer's spot with dramatic views. Your guide drives the air-conditioned van, pointing out pink flamingos in the salt lagoons as you go. Bring your own lunch or grab supplies en route.
Highlights
- Su Giudeu beach: golden sand ringed by coastal dunes
- Tuerredda bay: protected anchorage with steep limestone backdrop
- Flamingo spotting in Santa Gilla and Chia ponds
- Juniper-scattered dunes and turquoise shallows
- Vehicle with shade and air conditioning supplied
- Photography stops with unobstructed sea views
What to expect
You'll depart Cagliari mid-morning in a minivan with your driver-guide, hitting the road for about an hour to reach Su Giudeu. This beach opens onto shallow turquoise waters backed by scrubby vegetation and low ridges; expect to spend a couple of hours here before heading to Tuerredda for the afternoon. Tuerredda is more dramatic—a narrow bay cupped by higher ground, busier, and a proper swimming destination. You'll have time to wade, sunbathe, and shoot photos. The return drive covers similar coastal country, so keep your eyes peeled for the wading birds in the brackish ponds behind the beaches.
Good to know
Entry to Tuerredda requires advance booking through the tour operator (€2 fee). Pack your own food and drinks—no lunch provided. Infant seats available on request. Not suitable if pregnant or with heart conditions. Umbrellas issued; bring sunscreen and water shoes for rocky patches.
