Long sandy beaches, zero rush
Sorso is Sardinia’s laid-back coastal buddy: a small inland town with a beach habit. You’re in the north-west, a quick hop from Sassari, with the long sweep of Spiaggia di Platamona just down the road. Think sand dunes, pine shade and shallow water that begs for a “just five more minutes” swim. Settle into beach-club mode, or cycle the seaside stretch with gelato breaks as your training plan.
When you’re ready to roam, use Sorso as a springboard. Pop into Sassari for a lively evening passeggiata, drive to storybook Castelsardo for sunset views over the gulf, or head to Porto Torres for boats out to Asinara National Park, where wild scenery and bright coves do all the talking.
Food is happily simple too. Order grilled fish, fregola or pasta with bottarga, then finish with something sweet and almondy. Sorso’s superpower is balance: easy beach days, easy day trips, and zero pressure to do anything fast. Arrive hungry, leave sun-kissed. And with Alghero Airport close, you can land, unpack, and be seaside before your phone refreshes.
