Capo Carbonara (Villasimius Region)
A day trip by car or motorbike to one of the top beaches in Sardinia’s South is a must, in particular during this April season. The coastal road with the breathtaking views of the blue sea (a real cote d’azur) is a must. Parked our car in a national park near some Camper Vans, but mostly quite … at most 6 vehicles. It’s been a bit windy and water very cold, but what an amazing beach and white sand dunes. Enjoyed the great sun shine hidden inside the dunes, behind the bushes where we had some refuge from the strong and cold wins. Although, entering dunes seems prohibited, but we were careful not to step onto some of the plants. The outdoor temperature was max. 18, but felt much colder. I pushed myself into the lake area where water temperate was warmer, than the sea at around 15 degrees. Basically no people except some RV campers with their children and doggies. What an amazing escape from a big city life. Seems a popular place for RV campers !

I spend a lot of time diving and snorkeling in the Mediterranean Sea - it has spectacular scenery fro divers but a lack of large fish. Occasionally you get a glimpse of what it used to be like - the Med of Jacques Cousteau's early underwater films before rampant overfishing. This marine reserve is nearly 20 years old (age is important) and appears well managed balancing the conservation needs with those of the local community.
The scenery underwater is beautiful and accessible to the novice as it is shallow (there are guided tour operators for snorkelers and scuba) but I have seen better in the Med (Panarea, Filicudi, Amorgos, Iraklia, Tilos, Malta to list a few) but it does have the large demersal fish and they don't immediately flee on encountering you. It is an example of what can be achieved at low cost to the community and gives a bit more of a glimpse into Cousteau's Mediterranean.

We rented a boat from Tomas at Blu&Blu at the marina to get a better look at some of the islands and coves. This is a fantastic way to see the area. The hire was great value for money and money well spent. We asked him if he knew of a good dive school as we wanted to see some of the fish up close!! He put us in touch with Pro Dive which was run by a great guy called Stefano. We went out to the lighthouse and were shown some of the fantastic fish that live in this reserve. This was the highlight of my trip and would recomend that you try it.

Very close to Villasimius, a small town on the south coast, Capo Carbonara has few little, typical Sardinian beaches, and rocky islands scattered around the sea. You can either take a boat or hike on the hills near the marina in Vilassimius. The landscape is beautiful, but similar to the rest of Sardinian coast. It is nice to spend a couple of hours there and enjoy the views or sunbathe. However, it's not exceptional when compared to other similar areas.

Nice place to visit but nothing extraordinary. It is worth a climb up to the old tower with a great view over Capo Carbonara and also the beaches on the other side.

Rent a boat and see yourself, great nature. Snorkling not always necessary , fish come around to the boat looking for some food.

Isola dei Cavoli is A small granitic island in the far south-eastern tip of Sardinia, less than one kilometre away from Capo Carbonara, a frontier land with unsurmountable beauty, immersed in a wild and protected naturalistic context. Its symbol sits on its highest hill: the Faro dei Cavoli, a lighthouse whose walls are covered in small tiles, white and coloured from azure to purple. Built halfway through the 19th century

Hi Simon - with coral bleaching throughout the Caribbean and So. Pacific, I am turning my diving attention to the Med. Have you ever dived the Punta Coda Cavallo Protected Marine Area further north around Olbia, Loiri-Porto San Paolo, San Teodoro area?

Buongiorno da dov si entra alla spiaggia venendo da villasimius grazie
Written 18 August 2018
Ci sono molte spiagge la più vicina è quella di Simius segui la strada che attraversa il paese alla fine c'è la spiaggia oppure appena finito il paese alla rotatoria prendi a destra e all'altezza del porto alla tua sinistra trovi le spiagge di Notteri e Porto Giunco sulla destra verso il porto invece quella di Campolongu e quella del Riso, comunque l'area marina è composta da diverse aree che sono delimitate da boe in mare, non c'entrano nulla le spiagge

L'area marina protetta di Capo Carbonara comprende una spiaggia sabbiosa molto ampia, una laguna con fenicotteri rosa ed una zona rupestre e boscata che si presta per ottime escursioni. Sia la spiaggia che la struttura del VOI Tanka è adatta per accogliere famiglie con bambini piccoli.
