Golfo di Olbia is the broad inlet on which the Gallura town of Olbia sits, forming a natural gateway between the city and the Tyrrhenian Sea. As a natural feature rather than a single beach or site, it encompasses the stretch of coastline and water framing Olbia, giving the town its distinctive setting.
Despite sitting close to an urban centre, the gulf is known for beaches with clear water, offering a convenient spot for a swim without travelling far from the city. It is a useful reference point for visitors arriving in northeastern Sardinia, whether by ferry or air, as the gulf shapes the approach to Olbia itself and gives a first impression of the Gallura coastline.
