Coccorrocci Beach

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.
