The bay of Porto Conte is a natural inlet on the Riviera del Corallo, a locality on the northwest coast of Sardinia, in the sea of the same name, protected following the establishment of the Porto Conte Regional Nature Park. It is enclosed between the karst promontories of Capo Caccia and Punta Giglio and faces the Alghero roadstead; it is about 20 km from Alghero itself. It measures from the mouth to the bottom 6 km, with a width of about 2.5 km. The coastal part consists of small inlets, cliffs, and the long sandy beach of Mugoni pine forest.

As soon as you arrive in Porto Conte, you’re greeted with a stunning panoramic view of the Mediterranean Sea. The clear turquoise waters are perfect for snorkeling and swimming, while the white sandy beaches provide the perfect backdrop for soaking up the sun. The local cuisine is also a must-try, with fresh seafood and traditional Sardinian dishes being the highlight of many local restaurants.

Porto Conte is also home to a number of historical landmarks, including the Nuraghe Palmavera, a Bronze Age archaeological site that dates back over 3,500 years. The site features several well-preserved stone towers and huts, providing a glimpse into the lives of the ancient Nuragic people.
