Diving and snorkelling are possible at Cannigione beach. Several boat trips to the islands depart daily from the jetty in Cannigione. The trips to the islands begin at the jetty. The transition from the shore to travelling on the sea brings different forms of movement to the same stretch of coast.

Water at the beach and boat trips to the islands
Park route, La Conia and water sports in Cannigione
Parco Riva Azzurra borders Cannigione beach. A cycle path crosses the park and leads to the La Conia district. The route thus connects the beach area with La Conia. In La Conia, Cannigione, Club Nautico Arzachena offers sailing and windsurfing courses. The district is therefore both the destination of the cycle path and the location of the courses.
Natural area between Arzachena and Cannigione
The area between Arzachena and Cannigione is home to Padula di Lu Saloni, also known as Stagno Saloni. It is a wildlife protection oasis where many species of waterbirds breed. Its location between the two towns gives the natural area an independent connection within the landscape. For nature observation, the focus here is not the beach but the protected area with its waterbirds.
Markets and goods in Cannigione on Mondays and in the evenings
The Monday market in Via Orecchioni in Cannigione offers typical gastronomic products, fruit and vegetables, as well as fresh fish. Every evening, a market is held on Lungomare Andrea Doria with clothing, design and handicraft items, as well as various decorative objects. The two markets therefore differ in their schedule and the goods they offer. One takes place on Monday and focuses on food, while the other shapes the evening on the Lungomare with clothing, design, handicrafts and decorations.
Church and patron saint's festival in Cannigione
The parish church of Cannigione is San Giovanni Battista; it is located at Piazza S. Giovanni Battista 1.
The patron saint's festival in honour of San Giovanni Battista is listed as taking place on 24 June. The annual celebration includes a traditional procession, first on land and then at sea; from the port of Cannigione, the image of the saint and hundreds of worshippers travel in numerous boats into the gulf. For those interested in culture, the celebration combines religious significance, a procession and boat movement across the gulf.
