Ideas for your holiday
An area to explore at your leisure
Capo Ferrato Camping Village is an ideal starting point for the curious visitor to explore the nature of Costa Rei, the landscapes of Sarrabus and the living culture of Sardinia. Every day here can offer something different: the sea, walks, food and wine, handicrafts, day trips, or just enjoying your holiday at a leisurely pace. We have gathered some ideas to help you organise an authentic, relaxing stay, with plenty to discover.
Scoglio di Peppino
A short walk along the shoreline leads to one of the most picturesque inlets on the coast. Ideal for relaxing, snorkelling and photography.
Sunrise over the sea
Costa Rei is renowned for its spectacular sunrises, with intense light and a silence that envelops the beach. A perfect moment to start the day.
Evening stroll along the beach
The enchanting light of sunset, the sound of the waves, the warm sand beneath your feet: a beautifully simple way to bring the day to a close.
Do-it-yourself snorkelling
The shallow waters opposite the campsite are perfect for observing coastal fish and Neptune grass. An experience for everyone.
Cat colony within walking distance
There is a small protected cat colony 100 metres from the campsite, which is very popular with children.
Capo Ferrato – Spanish Tower and Lighthouse
One of the most beautiful walks in the area. The route winds its way through Mediterranean scrub, granite rocks and open views of the Gulf of Costa Rei out towards the 16th-century coastal tower and lighthouse.
Forest of S’Acqua Callenti (Castiadas)
Shady paths through cork oak trees, woodland and rocky outcrops. Ideal for those who enjoy a peaceful walk in beautiful natural surroundings.
Colostrai Pond
One of the finest natural environments in the Sarrabus area: it is a Site of Community Interest (SCI ITB040019) and a Special Protection Area (SPA ITB043025)
One of the richest natural environments in the Sarrabus area, populated by herons, egrets and migratory birds. The species present include the marsh harrier and the pink flamingo.
Santa Giusta wetlands (next to the campsite)
A few minutes’ walk away is a pond behind the dunes, perfect for easy birdwatching. It is a superb spot for observing the typical coastal wetland birdlife.
An idea for families with children and those who would like to explore nature without heading out too far.
