What to See: Beaches & Archaeology
A curated mix of turquoise coasts and ancient history in the Chia / Tuerredda / Pula area — perfect for travellers who want both sun and culture.
Beaches
- Tuerredda – iconic crescent-shaped beach with calm, Caribbean-like water; excellent for swimming and snorkelling. Access is sometimes limited in high season to protect the environment. Official Sardegna Turismo page.
- Su Giudeu & Cala Cipolla (Chia) – expansive sandy bay with dunes (Su Giudeu) and an intimate, photogenic cove (Cala Cipolla), plus the historic coastal tower nearby. Explore Chia area via Sardegna Turismo.
- Nora Beach – golden sand adjacent to one of Sardinia’s richest archaeological complexes; ideal for combining a cultural visit with a swim. Official Nora / Sardegna Turismo page · Regional Museums (Nora) site.
Archaeology & Culture
- Ancient City of Nora – Phoenician, Punic and Roman layers overlooking the sea: theatre, mosaics, baths, temples. A flagship cultural site in the area. Official Sardegna Turismo entry · Regional Museums portal.
- Historic centre of Pula – charming town to stroll in, with local shops, squares and typical Sardinian hospitality; great base for an evening aperitivo after beach and ruins. Official Pula tourism page.
Suggested Combination
Morning swim at Tuerredda, midday visit to Nora’s archaeological site, and afternoon / evening in Pula for a stroll and dinner. Balance sun and history in one day, or stretch across two days for a more relaxed pace. Browse the main Sardegna Turismo portal for logistics and seasonal updates.
