If you have chosen a car or motorcycle rental in Cagliari to explore the southwest of the island, your natural destination is the South Coast. Beyond Nora and Pula, you will find the wildest and most spectacular stretch of Sardinia: the beaches of Chia and the legendary Tuerredda.

The Journey: Along State Road 195

The trip from Cagliari to Chia takes about 50-60 minutes. Heading south on the SS195, the landscape changes dramatically, giving way to Mediterranean scrub hills and cliffs diving into turquoise waters. With a scooter, you can enjoy the scents of myrtle and sea breeze all along the way.

What to Visit in Chia: Dunes and Crystal Clear Waters

Chia is not just a beach, but a set of coves connected by panoramic headlands. Thanks to your rental vehicle, you can visit them all in one day:

  • Su Giudeu: Famous for its very high dunes of fine sand and the rocky islet reachable on foot at low tide.
  • Cala Cipolla: A small pearl nestled among granite rocks, reachable with a short walk after conveniently parking your scooter.
  • Capo Spartivento Lighthouse: From the Cala Cipolla path, climb to the lighthouse to enjoy a dominant view over the entire southern coast.

Beyond Chia: The Pearl of Tuerredda

Continuing for another 10 minutes towards Teulada, you will reach what is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world: Tuerredda. A sheltered cove that looks like a natural swimming pool with a view of a wild islet.

🌿 Help us protect this Paradise

Sardinia is a fragile treasure: do not leave trash and enjoy the dunes and beaches by staying on the paths, never driving on them. Remember to shake out towels and shoes to leave the sand in its habitat; it is forbidden to take sand, shells, or pebbles. The island thanks you for your respect!
