San Teodoro, environment and spectacular beaches in Sardinia

Saint Theodore
Today I would like to talk about one of the most recommended areas of Sardinia, a Mediterranean island that is already recommended. In fact, some illustrious people like Flavio Briatore, who incidentally has a very famous nightclub there, have dared to say that it is the Caribbean of the Mediterranean. And reason is not lacking the truth.

Saint Theodore It is one of the best places you can visit if you are looking for an environment and fine sandy beaches with crystalline waters. It has everything you are looking for if that is the tourism you like the most, and you should know that there are prices for all budgets, since you can dine peacefully in a bar or restaurant paying between 10 and 20 euros per person and even less.

La Cinta, the best beach in San Teodoro

The famous Emerald coast It is a must see, especially if you are staying in San Teodoro. It is an old town, but you should know that it has been conveniently renovated to receive the thousands and thousands of tourists who visit the island year after year.


You'll find 18 beaches to choose and also bays, some of which are quite hidden and can only be visited if the journey is made on foot. The sand on the beaches is white and fine-grained, and it is necessary to walk tens of meters inside the beach to notice that the water is beginning to cover. That is why it is a perfect beach to play with paddles or with a ball, and that is why it is also quite frequent to see families with young children.

The water temperature is usually quite high, so it doesn't take much to jump. The sea breeze helps you relax in the sun while a street vendor lends you fruit and smoothies so you don't get dehydrated.

The most complete beach of all, or at least the one that I liked the most, is the Tape. It is very large and is usually quite busy, but if you have the opportunity to make a hole for yourself, you will soon enjoy its clean and crystalline waters. You can reach it by car or on foot, as it is very well signposted and has a parking It is located a few minutes from the beach and does not cost too much (1.50 euros an hour).


I also recommend spending a few hours in Cala Brandinchi (you will arrive on the Olbia road turning towards Capo Coda Cavallo) and Girgolu cove (also accessible by the Olbia road, but turning right when you reach the height of Montipitrosu). They are two very charming places.

What to do at night?

At night you will not be bored. There is a very lively area, full of affordable restaurants, music pubs and shops where they sell all kinds of items related to the island. There are also artisan products such as bracelets, necklaces, earrings, rings ... The typical of a place where several stops are set up near the beach.

You will notice that the sellers are quite friendly and willing to bargain if the price seems expensive to you. It didn't take long for me to do this after negotiating for a pack of souvenirs very original. That before sitting in a restaurant and enjoying the best gastronomy. The pasta and the Pizza They serve in Sardinia are as good or better than in the rest of Italy, so you should not suffer. The bad thing is that you will have to pay the Copperto (Covered), which normally ranges from 1.50 to 2 euros per person. Then, yes, think twice about leaving a tip, because they collect it in advance.
