The Coral Coast and Beaches

The Coral Coast, was named after the high concentration of red coral used to make charming jewels. It stretches out along the 90 km coast of Alghero, with long white sand beaches, small caves and fascinating rock shapes towards the promontory of Capo Caccia, surrounded by the green of the Mediterranean maquis which often strikes the sea.
