Discover Terza Spiaggia Corallina
Terza Spiaggia Corallina is one of the small coves that shape the Costa Corallina shoreline, just north of Porto San Paolo. More intimate than other beaches in the area, it forms a small crescent of pale sand framed by low granite rocks and Mediterranean scrub that stretches almost to the water’s edge.
The seabed is predominantly sandy and slopes very gently, creating a wide band of shallow, transparent water ideal for calm stops and relaxed swimming. Sea colors shift from very light green near the shore to bright turquoise further out, with remarkable clarity on calm days that allows every detail beneath the surface to be clearly visible.
Seen from the sea, Terza Spiaggia Corallina appears as a neat and luminous inlet, with Tavolara rising on the horizon beyond the gulf. Arriving by dinghy enhances its intimate scale, allowing you to approach slowly and choose your stopping point carefully, in harmony with the tranquil character of the area.
Including Terza Spiaggia Corallina in a dinghy tour along the Porto San Paolo coast means adding a simple yet balanced stop, where beauty lies in proportion — sand, water, and open horizon in perfect equilibrium. It is not imposing in scale, but harmonious in atmosphere: a bright, protected space ideal for a relaxing pause with Tavolara as a backdrop.
