Camping Village le Dune

Activities of land and sea are easily reached by foot, bike or a very short car journey from this seaside site, such as the cycle routes all around the grounds, scuba diving and snorkelling within a kilometre, and kayaking and windsurfing within four and five kilometres. Around 10 minutes' drive – or half an hour's bus ride – to the north is Capo Ferrato, the famed forest-covered cape ended by its famed lighthouse looking out to the blue waters. A wander among (some of) the 195 hectares of coastal forest is well worth an afternoon for a cooler time; if you can manage it, ascend the rocky heaps of Monte Ferru, the largest volcanic formation in Sardinia, for spectacular views of coast and sea. Past Capo Ferrato, drive a bit further along the coast to the splendid beach of Colostrai, near the beaut waters of Colostrai lagoon. The lagoon is part of several areas of wetland around the Colostrai and Feraxi marshes, all birdwatching havens where the canny can see storks, kingfishers, avocets and great cormorants as well as the famed flamingos.
