It’s 7:00AM, I’m out of bed and at the beach just as the sun is climbing its way above the mountain tops. The water is calm, too calm, like before a storm. There are hardly any beachgoers at this time of morning, it’s perfect and Marinedda is mine, if only for a moment.
The ocean flirts her salt water wind in my direction. Continue reading
Isola Rossa or Red Island owes its name to the granite islet that lies in front of the harbour. Isola Rossa is a fisherman’s hamlet and retains its original characteristics despite the ongoing residential developments.
The area provides excellent holiday accommodations for families and for the romantic getaway. There are two main beaches in Isola Rossa: Spiaggetta del Porto and Spiaggia Longo. The fresh clean waters are a magnet for scuba divers, snorkelers and swimmers.
While temperatures dip to an all time unseasonably low, I continue to dream about better things.
How is summer shaping up in your area?
A juniper tree grows wild from years of abusive on the north-west coast of Sardinia, Italy. She grows among the red barren earth, mindless of her decaying ways.
There’s a small hike we take along the coast. We call it The Beach Hoppin’ Hike and it takes us around, through and over one of the most ruggedly beautiful landscapes I have ever seen. Coves, inlets and half-moon bays pave the way to an afternoon baking in the warm May rays.
Isola Rossa is in the distance. You can see the 1500 BC watch tower presiding over the small harbour town. Our plan is to make it there today, but we are tired and prefer to bake like lazy lizards in the warm afternoon sun.

Yesterday was the first time we hit the beach this year. It was a perfect hot day for the beach but the water is still cold and only the brave dare enter. Where do you get your beach on?
It started out as a drab, grey winter-ish day. Once the sun edged closer to the mountain top, the skies opened, to the bluest of beautiful blues. I met her in town, she asked “Vieni a Li Feruli oggi?”
Enough with the snow already! Here’s a little video of our favourite beach, Li Feruli. I hope this video brings some warmth to the rather cold winter days we’ve had.
Today I’m dreaming of the Sardinian Summer.
