Spiaggia del Principe - Poltu di li cogghj
Golfo Aranci
Spiaggia del Principe, also known as Poltu di li Cogghj, is a picturesque beach on the Costa Smeralda with fine sand and crystal-clear waters.
Location
Spiaggia del Principe is one of the most famous and beautiful beaches on the Costa Smeralda in northern Sardinia. Named after Prince Karim Aga Khan, who once fell in love with this place, it stands out for its natural beauty framed by granite rocks.
The beach is divided into two sections, connected by a narrow spit of land. The water shimmers in all shades of blue, from turquoise to deep blue, and the sand is fine and light. Due to its beauty and popularity, it can be quite busy in high season, but outside of peak hours, it offers idyllic tranquility.
Getting there is a bit adventurous, as a short walk is required, but the effort is rewarded with a breathtaking backdrop. Here you can swim, sunbathe, and enjoy the unique Mediterranean landscape.
