Tavolara Island rises sharply off the coast near Olbia in Gallura, its limestone cliffs among the most striking natural landmarks on Sardinia’s north-east shoreline. The island is known for its rugged terrain, clear waters and beaches that draw divers and boat trips from the mainland.
Amenities are limited but include a restaurant, making it a spot best suited to a day visit rather than an extended stay. Its combination of dramatic scenery and relative inaccessibility has long given Tavolara a distinct character within the Gallura coastline, appealing to those keen on diving, swimming or simply viewing the limestone massif from the sea.
