Sardinia is famous for its beaches, but the most magical spots are hidden from the eyes of the mass tourist. If you rely on public transport, you’ll only see 10% of the island’s beauty. The real Sardinia begins where the asphalt ends and narrow paths – accessible only by car – begin.
Here is our top list of places to head in a convertible to feel like a true pioneer.
1. Cala Spinosa — The Magic of Rocks and Azure
Located in the far north near Santa Teresa Gallura, this cove is hidden among the granite boulders of Capo Testa.
- Why by car: Buses stop quite far away. In a car, you can drive right up to the trailhead, leaving your convertible against the backdrop of rugged lighthouses.
- The Vibe: The water here is so clear that boats appear to be floating in mid-air.
2. Spiaggia di Piscinas — Europe’s Sahara Desert
This spot on the west coast (Costa Verde) is stunning, with giant sand dunes reaching up to 60 meters high.
- Why by car: The road here leads through old mining villages and stretches of unpaved road. Public transport simply doesn’t run here.
- The Vibe: Driving top-down past golden sands under the blazing sun feels like you’re in a Sahara rally, but with the comfort of a premium car.
3. Cala Domestica — A Mediterranean Fjord
A narrow, deep bay squeezed between high limestone cliffs in the southwest of the island.
- Why by car: The road to it (SP83) is one of the most beautiful, but extremely inconvenient for large groups. In a nimble Mazda MX-5, you’ll zip through the narrow sections with pleasure.
- Life Hack: Walk through the old tunnel in the rock to reach an even more secluded “secret” beach nearby.
4. Berchida Beach — Kilometers of Solitude
One of the longest and wildest beaches on the east coast. Even in peak season, you can find a spot where there is no one within 100 meters.
- Why by car: A long country road leads to the beach. Without a car, it’s practically impossible to get here.
- The Vibe: The dust trail behind your car and the anticipation of a wild shore—this is the taste of true adventure.
Why a convertible is the best choice for a beach guide?
- Parking: Our cars are compact. Where a huge tourist shuttle can’t turn around, you’ll easily find a parking spot.
- Horizon View: Approaching the sea, you see the blue of the water kilometers before you even stop.
- Sand is no problem: After the beach, it’s much more pleasant to drive in an open car -the sea breeze instantly dries the salt on your skin, leaving you feeling refreshed.
