As we head out into the turquoise waters, we’ll cruise by the iconic Bear Rock (Roccia dell’Orso), a natural granite formation sculpted by wind and sea into the shape of a bear. A perfect introduction to the unspoiled beauty of northern Sardinia.

Enjoy one last stop for swimming and sunbathing at Liscia Ruja, also known as "Long Beach" for its vast sandy shore and calm, shallow waters. It's a true paradise for sea lovers.
