Sleeping by the sea in San Teodoro
In north-eastern Sardinia, near the Costa Smeralda, San Teodoro is the ideal place to discover beautiful beaches and to do quite a few activities. If you love water sports, here you will find several centres for diving, snorkelling or taking kitesurfing and windsurfing lessons.
San Teodoro is also ideal for experiencing the nightlife. In fact, thanks to some of the most beautiful clubs in Sardinia, such as “Bal Harbor” and “Ambra day”, you can have fun with your friends to the sound of music and live shows or simply stroll through the streets and squares of its pretty old town.
The most beautiful beaches in San Teodoro
Characterised by marvellous beaches, the one that distinguishes this town is La Cinta, with its kilometres of white sand and blue sea suitable for everyone, from families with children to sports enthusiasts who will find here all the centres dedicated to water sports. This is the most popular beach, also thanks to the fact that it can be easily reached from the town centre by bus during the high season or by bike.
Not far away are the very famous beaches of north-eastern Sardinia such as Cala Brandinchi (known as Tahiti) and the beach of Capo Coda Cavallo. From San Teodoro there are also several excursions to the island of Tavolara, guardian of mysteries and ancient legends. Definitely worth seeing!
