Spiaggia delle Farfalle
Budoni
Spiaggia delle Farfalle, also known as Le Farfalle - Cala Suaraccia, is a small, picturesque beach in northeastern Sardinia, near San Teodoro, known for its crystal-clear waters and surrounding Mediterranean scrub.
Location
Spiaggia delle Farfalle is an enchanting stretch of coastline in the Gallura region, nestled in a granite landscape with lush Mediterranean scrub. It's also known as Le Farfalle - Cala Suaraccia, due to the presence of one of San Teodoro's first tourist resorts. The beach is a popular destination for visitors who appreciate its natural beauty and the clear, turquoise sea.
Although Spiaggia delle Farfalle is quite small, it offers both a free beach area and a section with limited facilities, such as some sun umbrellas for rent. The water is always pristine, inviting visitors to swim and snorkel. The cove is ideal for enjoying the Sardinian coastal landscape in a relaxed atmosphere, even if it can get quite crowded during peak season.
Located near Capo Coda Cavallo, only about 30 kilometers from Olbia, this beach is easily accessible and makes for a perfect day trip destination. The characteristic shape of the sandy arch and the surrounding nature make it a true postcard motif and a highlight for beach lovers in northeastern Sardinia.
