Trail “Costa Corallina”
The fine sand of Porto Istana invites you to walk along the enchanting path immersed in the Mediterranean scrub that runs alongside the sea. Here you will find rockroses, arbutus, heather, holm oaks and wild olive trees. The crystal-clear turquoise waves break, leaving you in awe. This path, less than 3 km long, takes you to Costa Corallina in 50 minutes, a small marina with
clear blue waters. From here, you can decide whether to continue to Porto San Paolo, crossing the beautiful Gallura coastline with its pink granite and green shrubs.
