“Cannigione is the fishing village the Costa Smeralda let live. Part of Arzachena, looking out over the Gulf of Arzachena: a little harbour, excursions to La Maddalena, real seafood restaurants. About 15 km from Porto Cervo, but with a different soul.”

Cannigione is a district of the municipality of Arzachena, on the Gulf of Arzachena, in north-eastern Gallura. Although it is about 15 km from Porto Cervo and within the wider Costa Smeralda area, it has kept adifferent soul: it is a fishing village that has grown touristically without becoming a luxury resort.
The marina is the beating heart: fishing boats, daily excursions to the La Maddalena islands, seafood restaurants along the waterfront. A family-friendly Mediterranean atmosphere, lower prices than Porto Cervo, and the same access to the Costa Smeralda's best beaches (Pevero, Capriccioli and Romazzino are 10–20 km away).
We don't currently have any homes in Cannigione: our nearest ones are in Porto Cervo and Palau, just a few minutes' drive away.
In the centre of the village: pale sand, a gently sloping seabed, with facilities. A family atmosphere.
A long sandy beach, parking, a camping area. A gently sloping seabed, ideal for children.
Further north, a quieter atmosphere, pale sand, turquoise sea.
A wild cove with an intimate atmosphere, great for snorkelling.
Costa Smeralda beaches within 15–25 minutes: Cala di Volpe, Liscia Ruja, Capriccioli, Romazzino, Pevero, Spiaggia del Principe. From Cannigione the whole Costa Smeralda is within reach.
Day tours to the La Maddalena Archipelago leave from Cannigione's little harbour: Spiaggia Rosa (Budelli, seen from the sea), Cala Corsara (Spargi), Santa Maria. Lunch on board, swims in crystal-clear water. Paid excursion: check prices and times.
About 15 km away, a glamorous evening in the Piazzetta. Soak up the Costa Smeralda atmosphere without paying to stay there.
Cannigione has some of the best seafood restaurants in the area, authentic and honestly priced compared with Porto Cervo. AffittaSardegna recommends 2–3 trattorias via WhatsApp.
The hinterland of Arzachena is home to one of the richest Nuragic complexes in Sardinia: giants' tombs, the nuraghe La Prisgiona, Coddu Vecchiu. Half a day of archaeology.
Boats can be hired from Cannigione's little harbour for days out on your own. Local operators with small boats at affordable prices.
