Sardinia Travel Guide: Beaches, Towns and Coastal Drives
We recorded this episode after exploring Sardinia’s beaches, coastal towns and inland roads. We talk about the places that stood out, the water that looks unreal in person and why Sardinia works well for families, teens and longer summer stays.
Episode Summary
Sardinia is one of those places that feels different almost immediately. In this episode, we talk through what stood out most after multiple trips, from beaches with unreal water to towns that felt lived in rather than built for tourists. We share which areas surprised us, which ones we would return to and how the island changes depending on where you base yourself.
We spend time breaking down the beaches we liked most and why. Some worked better for long, relaxed days. Others were better for quick swims between stops. We talk about access, parking and what actually matters when you are choosing a beach in Sardinia, especially during the summer months when crowds and timing can change the experience completely.
This episode also focuses on the towns and coastal routes that tied everything together. We talk about where we stayed, how much driving made sense and which stretches of road were part of the experience rather than just a way to get from one place to another. Sardinia is an island where planning your route matters, and we explain what worked for us and what we would do differently next time.
We also discuss why Sardinia works well for families and teens. The island offers a mix of easy beach days, short excursions and food that keeps everyone happy without needing constant planning. We share what felt relaxed, what required more patience in peak season and how long stays change the way you experience the island.
Food comes up often in this episode, from simple meals near the water to places we kept returning to without overthinking it. We also talk about small day trips and stops that filled the space between beaches and drives, adding variety without making the trip feel rushed.
This episode is meant to help you understand how Sardinia actually functions once you are there. It is not about listing every must see spot. It is about how the island feels, how to move through it comfortably and whether it fits the kind of trip you are planning.
