Baia Sardinia; Coastal View, Wooded, Granite Landscape, Distant Sailing Boat & La Conia. Gallura, Sardinia, Ital


Coastal view looking across the bay at the Baia Sardinia coastline. It shows the granite landscape with woodland. Distant views of Phi Beach and La Conia. A large sailing ship is moored in the Gulf of Arzachena. The main attraction in Baia Sardinia is the beach, Cala Batistoni which is packed with families in the summer. This area was named the ‘Costa Smeralda’ in 1959 by the Prince Aga Khan. He became convinced that his investment from the previous year was worthwhile and set about transforming Gallura into a tourist attraction. It has the reputation as an exclusive playground for the rich and famous. Each summer Italian celebrities and the wealthy flock to this area. Baia Sardinia is aimed at the family market and there are many modern holiday complexes and hotels overlooking the bay.
