Spiaggia di Punta Tegge — Attraction in undefined

Sardinia is not for the faint of heart. This rugged island demands more than just admiration—it requires respect, a willingness to slow down, and an openness to its untamed beauty. It’s a place that calls to those who seek the wild corners of the world, where the Mediterranean's blue bleeds into the sky, and time seems to bend under the heat of the sun. Among Sardinia's many treasures, there’s a slice of paradise called Spiaggia di Punta Tegge.

Punta Tegge doesn’t shout its virtues from the rooftops. You won’t find it in the glossies, with tourists elbowing for the perfect Instagram shot. No, Punta Tegge is quieter, more introspective, the kind of beach that reveals itself slowly, like a secret shared between friends.

The water here is the kind of crystalline blue that defies description, as if Poseidon himself had handpicked this spot to showcase what the Mediterranean should look like at its best. It’s the sort of clarity that makes you want to dive in headfirst, even if you’re the type who usually prefers dry land. Granite rocks, smoothed by centuries of wind and sea, frame the cove, giving it a raw, unpolished beauty.

There’s a café here—Zi Anto—perched right by the water’s edge. Now, you might think a place like this, with a view that would make millionaires jealous, would be just another tourist trap. But you’d be wrong. Zi Anto is the real deal. The coffee is strong enough to put hair on your chest, and the seafood? Fresh doesn’t even begin to cover it. It’s the kind of place where you lose track of time, sipping an espresso or nursing a glass of cold Vermentino while watching the sun dip low in the sky.

This beach isn’t just for sunbathing and postcard views, though. Punta Tegge is for the doers, the adventurers. Kayaks are lined up, begging to be taken out for a spin, to explore the coastline in a way that no car or footpath could ever allow. If you’re feeling particularly bold, snorkel gear is available too, letting you slip beneath the surface and enter another world entirely—a world where fish dart between rocks, and the only sound is the rhythm of your own breathing.

But even if you don’t set out on an aquatic adventure, Punta Tegge has its rewards. It’s a place that invites you to slow down, to savor the simple pleasures—cool water on a hot day, the smell of salt and sea, the warmth of the sun on your skin. It’s a place to reconnect, with the world and with yourself.

As the sun begins to set, casting a golden glow over the granite rocks, you’ll understand why this place is special. It’s not just another beach. It’s a sanctuary, a reminder of why we travel in the first place—to find places like this, where the world still feels wild and beautiful, and where, for a few precious moments, we can forget everything else...

I've seen most of the best calas and beaches around the whole of Sardinia and Maddalena, this corner of paradise is among my favourite ones. Incredible scenery and wonderful colours with all the shades of blue you want for the gram, gorgeous boulders to climb and to jump from, with plenty of space for everyone to lie down like a pomodoro drying in the sun. There is also free parking with enough space to park even in August AND a fantastic restaurant which had great service, delicious fresh seafood with tasty wine pairing AND (I know, it doesn't stop) an amazing sunset spot right behind where you can take your drinks and enjoy... What else would you wish for? Activities? You can rent kayaks and arrange diving... So it must be super remote? Not even, ten minutes drive from town....

Sunsets are spectacular. There is something here for everyone! Sandy beaches which are more like cozy coves with crystal clear water. There is a rocky outcrop where you can sit or place your towel and just let the day go by. Watch out for the occasional sea urchin and jellyfish- they’re small but pack a punch. Entry into water from rocks can be VERY slippery when tide is low so beware. There is an absolutely picturesque bar/restaurant where you can also absorb the...
