📍 What Porto Taverna is like

Porto Taverna is one of the most beautiful and best-loved beaches in the municipality of Loiri Porto San Paolo, on Sardinia's north-east coast, between Olbia and San Teodoro. It's a broad sandy bay looking out ontoTavolara island and the Marine Protected Area, with shallow, crystal-clear water that makes it one of the favourite destinations for families from all over the area.

It's the right place if you want a wide, easy and spectacular beach without the crowds and prices of the more glamorous resorts. The view of Tavolara is constant and priceless, and boat trips to the island leave from nearby Porto San Paolo. Our nearest homes are in Porto Istana, a few minutes away.

Porto Taverna is the beach where the water stays shallow for metres and metres: the children play safely while you float, watching Tavolara turn pink at sunset. Nothing exclusive, everything perfect.
