Li Cuncheddi
A wide and luminous beach facing Tavolara, where pale sand and shallow seabeds define one of the most open stretches of the Gulf of Olbia.
Discover Li Cuncheddi
Li Cuncheddi extends along the southern shore of the Gulf of Olbia, between Capo Ceraso and Porto Istana, in a section that feels more open and luminous than the smaller coves of the headland. The beach is broad and linear, composed of fine, pale sand, with a shoreline running parallel to the sea without significant elevation changes. The view is dominated by the unmistakable profile of Tavolara rising on the horizon, creating a constant visual dialogue between coastline and island-mountain.
The seabed slopes gently and keeps the water shallow for several meters, with shades ranging from emerald green to bright turquoise under full sunlight. Further out, the blue gradually deepens, yet transparency remains high thanks to sandy bottoms and the quality of the gulf’s waters. The absence of large emerging rocks gives the shoreline a uniform and clearly readable appearance, even from the sea.
Behind the beach, light dunes and Mediterranean scrub stretch across the land, with low vegetation allowing space for light and wind. The setting appears more open than the rocky inlets of Capo Ceraso, offering a greater sense of visual breadth and continuity between land and sea.
Reaching Li Cuncheddi by dinghy means adding a simple yet luminous stop to your itinerary, especially ideal on calm sea days. Navigating along this stretch highlights the openness of the Gulf of Olbia, with Tavolara and Molara constantly present in the background. Including Li Cuncheddi in a dinghy tour allows you to alternate rugged headlands with long, linear beaches, maintaining a balance between intimate landscapes and wide horizons.

Fun Facts and Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Li Cuncheddi located?
Li Cuncheddi is located along the coast south of Olbia, in the Capo Ceraso area, within one of the most natural and least urbanized stretches of the Costa di Olbia. This area stands out for its still wild landscape, characterized by Mediterranean vegetation, granite rocks and a succession of small coves that blend seamlessly into one another.
Unlike the more well-known destinations of the Costa Smeralda, Li Cuncheddi preserves a more private and authentic identity, far from mass tourism. Its slightly secluded position compared to the main tourist routes makes it particularly appealing for those seeking tranquility and a direct connection with nature.
During a day at sea with Flag Sardinia, Li Cuncheddi represents a perfect stop for those who want to discover the Costa di Olbia in a more intimate way, navigating among uncrowded inlets aboard luxury RIB boats, both in bareboat rental without skipper and in charter with skipper.
How to reach Li Cuncheddi?
Li Cuncheddi can be reached by land from Olbia in about 20 minutes, following the road towards Capo Ceraso. The final stretch passes through a more natural and less developed area, with limited access that helps keep the location relatively uncrowded even during peak summer months.
For this reason, the best way to truly reach and experience Li Cuncheddi is by sea. Sailing along the Costa di Olbia, this area gradually reveals itself through hidden coves and coastal stretches that are difficult to access from land.
With Flag Sardinia’s luxury RIB boats, Li Cuncheddi can be included within customized itineraries departing from Porto Rotondo or other nearby marinas. In the case of charter with skipper, access becomes even easier and smoother, allowing you to reach the most scenic coves without any difficulty.
For those choosing bareboat rental, Li Cuncheddi represents an ideal destination for a relaxed navigation, thanks to its relatively sheltered position and the presence of several safe spots for anchoring.
What is Li Cuncheddi famous for?
Li Cuncheddi is famous for its wild character and for the quality of its natural landscape, which still remains largely untouched compared to other areas of northeastern Sardinia. It is not an iconic destination in the traditional tourist sense, but this very discretion is what makes it unique.
The area is appreciated for its light sandy coves and crystal-clear waters, often calm and ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The seabed, mainly sandy with rocky sections, offers excellent visibility and a strong sense of immersion in nature.
Li Cuncheddi is mostly known among those who experience the sea in a more conscious and refined way, away from the most crowded routes. During an excursion with Flag Sardinia, it is often chosen as an alternative stop to more popular destinations, enhancing a more exclusive experience aboard luxury RIB boats, both in bareboat rental and charter with skipper.
What to do in Li Cuncheddi?
In Li Cuncheddi, activities mainly revolve around the sea and nature. It is not a destination with widespread services or intrusive tourist facilities, and precisely for this reason it offers a more authentic and relaxed experience.
During a day on a RIB boat, it is possible to stop in different coves for swimming, sunbathing or simply enjoying the silence and the surrounding landscape. The clear waters make the area particularly suitable for snorkeling, even without moving far from the coast.
Another interesting aspect is the possibility to alternate navigation with longer stops, without the pressure of the heavy boat traffic typical of more popular areas. This makes Li Cuncheddi ideal for those who want to slow down and experience the sea with greater freedom.
With Flag Sardinia, the area can be included in tailor-made itineraries. In charter with skipper, it is possible to discover the most hidden coves, while in bareboat rental you can explore the area independently, always maintaining a high level of comfort thanks to luxury RIB boats.
What is the best time to visit Li Cuncheddi?
Li Cuncheddi can be visited throughout the summer season, but it shows its best side in June and September, when the area maintains its tranquility and the sea offers particularly pleasant conditions.
During these periods, the lower number of visitors allows you to fully enjoy the coves and the natural environment without disturbances. Temperatures are also more balanced, making the experience at sea even more comfortable.
In July and August, although still less crowded than other destinations, the area may see a higher number of visitors. However, thanks to the shape of the coastline and the presence of multiple inlets, it is always possible to find quieter spots.
With Flag Sardinia’s luxury RIB boats, it is possible to plan stops strategically and adapt the itinerary based on weather conditions and crowd levels, both in bareboat rental and charter with skipper.
Why visit Li Cuncheddi during a RIB tour?
Visiting Li Cuncheddi during a RIB tour allows you to experience its most authentic essence, which largely remains hidden when accessed by land. The true richness of the area lies along the coastline, among coves that are often accessible almost exclusively by sea.
While navigating, you have the freedom to choose where to stop, discovering different spots depending on sea conditions and personal preferences. This level of flexibility is what makes the RIB experience particularly suited to an area like Li Cuncheddi.
With Flag Sardinia, the tour becomes fully customizable. In charter with skipper, the itinerary is built around the guests’ preferences, including the most scenic stops. In bareboat rental, you can explore the area independently, always maintaining a high standard thanks to luxury RIB boats.
