Discover Chia by boat

From Su Giudeu to Sardinia's hidden coast

Your boat, your route, your pace. Depart from Chia's Su Giudeu beach and navigate west along South Sardinia's most breathtaking coastline — turquoise coves, white sand, and wild rocky capes that feel like the Caribbean. All reachable with our no-license dinghies.

20 min from Su Giudeu
The iconic beach

Tuerredda Beach

White sand, emerald lagoon, sheltered from the mistral. Often called the most beautiful beach in all of Sardinia — and it's even more breathtaking from the sea. Anchor near the tiny island for the best snorkeling on the coast.

Adventure route

Capo Malfatano

Where the coastline turns wild. Natural rock pools carved into the cape, deep waters for serious snorkeling, and a coast so untouched that dolphins are regularly spotted alongside boats. A locals' favourite.
