Cardedu Marina
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.
