Wild beaches of north-west Sardinia tour

Ditch the daily grind and step into a Sardinian postcard by exploring the region's northern coastline. You'll kick off your bus tour in Argentiera, previously a mining village, where you'll stop at Cala dell'Argentiera. A swim in the shallow waters here is a must, and don't forget to snap some pics of this cliff-framed stretch – the cove itself is made up of two beaches separated by a cliff. It's a great spot for relaxation or checking out the surrounding nature trails. Our expert local guide, Paulo, says “this tour is all about making sure you come away from your holiday knowing you've seen all sides of Sardinia's coastline. If you're the type of person who takes the saying ‘leave no stone unturned' seriously, then you'll really appreciate this tour.”

Next, you're off to Capo Falcone, the rugged northwestern tip of Sardinia. Get ready for panoramic views of the Mediterranean – and keep your eyes peeled for rare birds like falcons on the horizon. Don't miss the view over La Pelosa Beach with its fine white sand and tropical water – this is Sardinia's shoreline at its most photogenic.

You'll cap off your coastal adventure at Le Saline Beach, a dazzling strip of white pebbles in Sardinia's Stintino area. Here, history meets natural beauty with ancient salt pans and fishing towers adding a unique backdrop. You'll get to chill on the glittering quartz grains, soak up the sun – and the zen. Plus, the sea will make your social media timelines pop.
