An excellent destination for those who love water sports and seaside vacations, Sardinia is a great place to visit. Travelers visiting the island will definitely enjoy their stay and some fabulous natural scenes. The island boasts of a coastline 1,849 Km in long.

Cagliari is the capital of Sardinia and also called the "City of Sun". Nearby, the Poetto Beach is about 8 km long and travelers can enjoy a range of water-sports activities and swimming, though it may be crowded since it is a well-known tourist attraction.
