What July feels like

July is high summer: hot, dry and confident. The sea is warm from breakfast onwards, beach kiosks and boat charters run at full tilt, and life shifts to early mornings and long evenings, with a siesta-shaped hole in the afternoon. Book tables and sunbeds ahead in the hotspots, then use the reliable afternoon breeze: this is the month windsurfers and sailors circle. In the Sulcis-Iglesiente that means mining ghost towns, the dunes of Piscinas and the islands of Carloforte and Sant'Antioco.

Dunes and the wild coast

Carloforte and Sant'Antioco

Two inhabited islands, two characters: Ligurian-flavoured Carloforte and ancient Sant'Antioco are both easy summer hops.

Beach days

Warm sea, long days and dependable sunshine: this is prime beach weather. Go early or late in the day for the softest light and the emptiest sand.

Get out on the water

Flat, warm mornings are made for boat trips, kayaking and snorkelling; the breeze that builds in the afternoon suits sailors and windsurfers.
