Porto Raffa
Gonnesa
Porto Raffa is a beautiful beach, often confused with Porto Rafael in the north. The real Porto Raffa is located near Iglesias, in southwestern Sardinia, offering two idyllic coves.
Location
Porto Raffa, also known as Portu Raffa, is a hidden gem on the southwestern coast of Sardinia, not far from Iglesias and the picturesque village of Nebida. This beach is characterized by its secluded location and unspoiled natural beauty, far from the hustle and bustle of more famous tourist destinations. It should not be confused with the sophisticated Porto Rafael in the north of the island.
Access to Porto Raffa is via a small path leading to two charming, smaller coves. Here, visitors will find fine sand and clear waters, ideal for swimming and relaxation. The rocky surroundings and Mediterranean maquis give the place a wild and authentic Sardinian atmosphere.
Porto Raffa is therefore an ideal spot for those seeking tranquility and wishing to enjoy the unspoiled nature of Sardinia. The surroundings also offer opportunities for short hikes and exploring the coast, away from commercial facilities.
