General Info
Sardinia is an autonomous region of Italy and lies about 120 miles west of the Italian mainland. Its coastline is spectacular and its waters teem with fish and shellfish. Sardinia in summer can be extremely hot.
There are a large number of ports all around the coast and several new, modern marinas. Those on the Costa Esmeralda are the most expensive. Many of the smaller harbours have limited space and, often, no fuel berth.
The northern harbours of Porto Rotondo, Porto Cervo, Cala di Volpe, as well as The Maddalenas all get extremely crowded in the high season (July and August) in addition to being very expensive. The no anchoring rule in the nature reserves is generally ignored by a large number of boaters who visit then. Add the tour boats who circle the anchorages and you get the picture. However, visiting in spring or autumn is very rewarding.
