With watersports, bars, restaurants and a long stretch of white sand, Mugoni Beach is a great place to come for fun and relaxation. The sandy stretch is bordered by a forest of pine trees. Its name comes from the Mugoni family who used to own land in the area.
Roll out your towel on the sand or rent a sunbed and umbrella. Although the beach is very popular, especially during the height of the summer season, it is so spacious that you won’t feel on top of other visitors. Walk along the shoreline or take a shaded stroll among the pine trees.
There are several options if you want to make the most of the emerald green water. Rent a pattino, a type of standup rowing boat and go for a swim or paddle. Sardinia is famed for its six-month long summer which means that the sea is usually warm enough for swimming from May through to October.
Mugoni Beach sits in a bay and as such is sheltered from the wind and strong currents. This makes it a good place for families with young children who want to play in the water. However, when the wind does blow, the conditions are perfect for surfers. When that happens, ride the waves on a windsurfing or kitesurfing board. Don’t worry if you are a novice, because lessons are available at the beach
If you haven’t brought a picnic with you, enjoy some refreshments in the bars and restaurants.
Mugoni Beach is situated in Porto Conte, an easy 10-mile (16-kilometre) drive from the charming resort town of Alghero. Among the facilities are a large metered car park, restrooms and showers. The beach is also wheelchair accessible.
Consider staying overnight in the beach’s campsite or in the nearby hotel. If you have come by campervan, you can stop for the night in the car park.
