Tavolara Island - all beaches

We explored the protected marine natural area with the help of INSULA360 (find them on IG), who guided us on an exclusive and detailed excursion using their dinghy: • Tavolara Island, where we stopped for about an hour to have breakfast and swim in a stunning cove; • Molara Island, where we swam in its natural pools but couldn't disembark; • Turtle Rock, where we enjoyed swimming and diving; • Beach of the Cows, concluding at Cala Suaraccia, the starting point of our excursion.

The beach is very peaceful and secluded, even during peak season. It can be accessed on foot from Cala Ginepro, with parking available a short distance away.

This location, also known as Cala del Faro due to its proximity to the Punta Timone lighthouse, is situated on the eastern side of the island of Tavolara in Sardinia and boasts a unique and rare natural beauty. However, it is unfortunate that it is inaccessible. The area falls within a zone of military interest, making access impossible. Even if one wished to visit, it is constantly monitored by top-notch surveillance systems, and the protection service is always highly vigilant and attentive. I believe this is for the best, as it helps preserve the enchanting nature of the place. Nonetheless, there are many equally stunning areas around the Island of Tavolara and throughout the protected marine area. The beauty of the seabed, the distinctive features of the locations, and the numerous available beaches make it truly unique and special.
