Liscia Ruja
The longest beach on the Costa Smeralda, facing water that changes colour every metre. Roomier than the nearby coves, it is comfortable even on peak days.
Which wind to go with
Sheltered from Tramontana, Ostro, Libeccio, Ponente, Maestrale (mistral): with these winds the sea here is usually calm.
