3 beaches and coves

Coccorrocci Beach

⏱️ Time: 10 minutes by car from the centre Difficulty: Easy

Cardedu's most famous beach is a visual experience unlike any other in Sardinia: basaltic boulders of almost black colour, smoothed by marine erosion, rise out of the pale sand and turquoise water in a chromatic contrast of tremendous impact. The dark volcanic rocks form natural pools and sheltered inlets where the sea is always calm. The beach has some facilities during the summer season — sunbeds and umbrellas — but retains its dramatic landscape intact. Highly popular with photographers and snorkelling enthusiasts for the wealth of marine life among the rocks.

Museddu Beach

⏱️ Time: 20 minutes by car from the centre plus 15 minutes on foot Difficulty: Moderate

A hidden, intimate cove reached by following a short path through Mediterranean scrubland. Museddu beach is a little-known corner of paradise, unfamiliar even to many Ogliastrans: very fine cream-coloured sand, crystal-clear water ranging from emerald green to cobalt blue, and an almost unreal silence even in August. The absence of permanent facilities and the relatively challenging access keep the crowds away. Bring water and food as there are no services on site. One of the most beautiful and least celebrated beaches on the entire eastern coast.

Cardedu Marina

⏱️ Time: 5 minutes by car from the centre Difficulty: Easy

The village's main stretch of shoreline — the most equipped and easiest to reach — with beach clubs, equipment hire and a small marina. The sandy beach extends for several hundred metres with gently shelving water, ideal for families. In summer the area comes alive with tourists and local young people; out of season it rediscovers a relaxing calm. From the marina jetty there is a panoramic view along the coast and, on clear days, across the Gulf of Tortolì.
