General info: 

private://The best beach in Sardinia? Many think that this is indeed the best beach in Sardinia but this is number two on my list. It is a little difficult to reach, more details as to how to get here further on. The beach is a beautiful 700 meter long half moon crescent (hence the name which means half-moon in Italian)overlooking the Gulf of Orosei. The water is azure and crystal clear –the shallowness of the water means that it is a great place for children. The vibrant marine life, balmy sea temperatures and crystalline waters makes it great for snorkelers and scuba divers. Just behind the beach there are rolling hills covered in lush vegetation. Many friends of mine believe this to be not only the best beach in Sardinia but the best beach in the entire Mediterranean. On one side of the beach there are six small caves and nearby, reached by boat, there is the grotta (cave) del bue marino.private://

Getting there: 

It can be reached by boat leaving from the port of Cala Gonone or from the beach of Marina di Orosei. By foot follow the path leaving from Cala Fuili or Balnei. It must be said that the hike is not the easiest so if you don’t feel up to it, or have young kids, then boat is the best option. I tried the hike and I now go by boat – enough said!!

Cala en Porter was one of Menorcas first beach resorts and its popularity has lasted until this day. This beach where also the town got its name is spacious one with tall cliffs on both sides creating a dramatic backdrop.
