Grande Pevero
A wide arc of pale sand facing emerald waters, framed by the gentle hills of the Costa Smeralda.
Discover Grande Pevero
Grande Pevero stretches along the coast between Porto Cervo and Cala di Volpe, forming a wide and luminous bay that represents one of the signature landscapes of the Costa Smeralda. The beach draws a soft arc of very fine, pale sand that reflects the sunlight and enhances the vivid tones of the sea. Behind it rise gently rolling hills covered with Mediterranean scrub, where villas and structures blend harmoniously into the natural surroundings.
The seabed is predominantly sandy and slopes gradually, keeping the water shallow and exceptionally clear for several meters from the shore. Shades range from light green to bright turquoise, deepening into more intense blue further offshore. Facing the beach, the Li Nibani islands appear on the horizon, adding depth and character to the panorama.
Despite its fame and central location, Grande Pevero maintains a refined balance between exclusivity and nature. During the summer months, yachts and dinghies anchored offshore highlight the international appeal of the area, while along the shoreline the atmosphere remains open and luminous thanks to the generous width of the beach.
Reaching Grande Pevero by dinghy allows you to fully appreciate the harmony of the bay: from the sea, its perfect geometry becomes evident, along with the contrast between pale sand and emerald water and the soft outline of the hills behind. Including it in a dinghy tour along the Costa Smeralda means experiencing one of the most elegant and recognizable stops of the coastline, alternating relaxing breaks with iconic views that define the identity of the region.
