Alba Monte Moro

Given its height, the sunrise from Monte Moro offers spectacular views over an area that includes Porto Cervo, Tavolara, the Gulf of Arzachena, and the Maddalena Archipelago, the Gulf of Aranci. You can reach the summit on foot, by bike, or even more comfortably by car. Any time in spring, summer, or fall is great, but sunrise is recommended to avoid the heat and enjoy the tranquility and colors of the morning.

One of the most evocative places to watch the sunrise is undoubtedly Spiaggia del Principe. In the early morning, the calm waters and granite rocks are tinged with pink and gold, creating an intimate and almost suspended atmosphere. In winter, when the beach is completely deserted, the experience becomes even more intense and silent, perfect for those seeking authentic contact with nature.

Liscia Ruja, with its long beach, is ideal for those who love wide horizons. Here, the sun slowly emerges from the sea, creating spectacular plays of light on the white sand.

For a panoramic view, Capo Ferro is one of the best choices. This promontory north of Porto Cervo offers an unobstructed view of the La Maddalena archipelago. In winter, the often rougher sea and clear skies create striking color contrasts, transforming the sunrise into a powerful and evocative spectacle.

Finally, Cala Granu, just a few minutes from the center of Porto Cervo, is perfect for those who want a secluded and easily accessible location. Even in the cold season, the sound of the waves and the scent of the Mediterranean scrub accompany the sunrise, offering feelings of peace and contemplation.
Discovering the sunrise on the Costa Smeralda, especially in winter, means getting to know the most authentic and poetic side of the area. It is an experience that can thrill you in any season and show you the beauty of Sardinia beyond the summer.
