Piccolo Pevero
A sheltered bay of pale sand and turquoise water, set between granite headlands in the heart of the Costa Smeralda.
Discover Piccolo Pevero
Piccolo Pevero lies just south of Porto Cervo, within a naturally protected bay that opens onto the gulf of the same name. Compared to nearby Grande Pevero, this beach is smaller and generally more intimate, while still preserving the elegance typical of the Costa Smeralda. The sand is pale and fine, reflecting the light and creating a striking contrast with the blue of the sea.
The seabed slopes gently and remains shallow for several meters from the shore, making the water especially bright and ideal for long stays in the sea. On calm days, the surface appears almost motionless, while light breezes add texture and depth to the turquoise shades. On either side of the bay, wind-shaped granite rocks form soft, irregular profiles framed by Mediterranean vegetation.
Behind the beach, villas and hospitality structures are set among the greenery, remaining discreet within the natural landscape. The overall setting creates a balance between nature and human presence that characterizes much of the Costa Smeralda. Piccolo Pevero is often frequented by boats that anchor offshore to enjoy the view of the bay and the clarity of the water.
Arriving by dinghy allows you to fully appreciate the harmonious shape of the bay and the transparency of its seabeds. Including Piccolo Pevero in a dinghy tour between Cala di Volpe, the Pevero area and the surrounding coves means alternating stops in luminous, shallow waters with scenic navigation along one of the most iconic stretches of the Costa Smeralda.
