Holiday apartment in Valledoria: Beaches, Coghinas and Nature

Holiday apartment in Valledoria between the coast and the Coghinas

Valledoria combines a distinctive coastal landscape with the river environment of the Coghinas. The Marina di Valledoria has seven kilometres of soft, golden sand. Its coastline is characterised by dunes with sea lilies and a lagoon lake in the hinterland formed by the river mouth. When choosing a holiday apartment in Valledoria, you can therefore choose between relaxing beach days, water activities and nature observation as different focal points.

Beaches between dunes, maquis and proximity to the town

Baia Verde beach is located in the immediate vicinity of the mouth of the Rio Cugiani and is surrounded by eucalyptus trees, junipers and mimosas. The sandy beach of Prima Guardia is surrounded by Mediterranean maquis and is located in the immediate vicinity of the built-up area.

Water activities and nature along the Coghinas

The Imbarcadero of Valledoria is located at the mouth of the Coghinas, between the river, dunes and sea. River excursions as well as peaceful activities such as kayaking and birdwatching start from there. The river mouth also served as a port for trade with the rest of Sardinia as well as for imports and exports throughout the Mediterranean region. In this way, the river mouth combines an experiential landscape with a historical connection.

The calm, shallow Coghinas, which is more than 12 kilometres long, is suitable for kayaking excursions. L'Alta Bhanda can be reached by boat from the Imbarcadero and borders the mouth of the Coghinas as well as the surrounding SIC area. The river environment therefore particularly appeals to visitors who wish to combine water activities with landscape observation.

Protected species from the SIC area can be observed near the Coghinas, among reeds and sand dunes. Specialised birdwatching activities with qualified guides are offered at the access point on the Coghinas. Those who choose accommodation according to their personal interests for the day will find a specific focus here for peaceful nature experiences.

Hiking, cycle paths and different kinds of beach days

The hills and small mountains around the Valledoria valley are suitable for walks and hikes of low, medium and high difficulty. All of Valledoria's beaches can be reached on foot or by bicycle via combined pedestrian and cycle paths. In addition, a shuttle bus provides access to the beaches. This makes it possible to plan active and more relaxing beach days in different ways.

San Pietro a Mare and Maragnani

San Pietro a Mare offers fine golden sand, bathing facilities, bars and restaurants, as well as areas for beach volleyball and beach soccer. A nearby car park also makes San Pietro a Mare accessible to families and people with reduced mobility. Maragnani beach is suitable for surfing and windsurfing. In San Pietro a Mare, the church of San Pietro is believed to have been built on the site of an ancient church in the city of Ampurias.
