Puntaldìa
An elegant headland overlooking Tavolara, where a marina, bright beaches, and open sea come together in a refined coastal setting.
Discover Puntaldìa
Puntaldìa develops around a headland that marks the southern edge of the long sandy arc between Lu Impostu and La Cinta. It is a refined and orderly seaside destination built around a modern marina overlooking a bright and open stretch of sea, with the imposing silhouette of Tavolara dominating the horizon.
The marina is compact and well protected, with piers extending into generally calm and transparent waters. Around it, low villas, well-kept gardens, and pedestrian paths follow the natural curves of the promontory. The nearby golf course, which stretches almost to the coastline, adds an additional sense of openness and space to the landscape.
The surrounding beaches feature pale sand and predominantly sandy seabeds that slope gently, creating ideal conditions for relaxed stops and swimming. The sea shifts from light green to bright turquoise, with reflections changing throughout the day according to light and wind direction.
Approaching Puntaldìa by dinghy reveals its dual character: on one side, the quiet elegance of the marina and moored boats; on the other, the headland opening toward the open sea and naturally connecting this area with Lu Impostu, Cala Brandinchi, and Punta Coda Cavallo. It is a stop that combines refined atmosphere with scenic beauty, ideal within an itinerary along the San Teodoro coastline, always with Tavolara in the background.
