Liscia Ruja: The Costa Smeralda Long Beach by Car
Liscia Ruja: the largest beach on Costa Smeralda. Golden sand, easy dirt road and a spacious car park. Hire an SUV or city car with KS Rent from Olbia.
Imagine stepping onto over 500 metres of fine, golden-pink sand winding along the Costa Smeralda's longest bay. A spacious unpaved parking area lies directly behind the dunes, whilst KS Rent provides seamless car delivery to Arzachena and Porto Cervo with no credit card required.
The Grand Arc of the Gallura Coast
Framed by fragrant juniper thickets and wild Mediterranean scrub, this coastal stretch offers sweeping views across the water to the uninhabited islands of Soffi and Mortorio. The unique shoreline serves as the ultimate setting for long walks along the water's edge, balancing fully serviced beach clubs with pristine, untouched sections of public sand.
Route and Arrival Details
From Arzachena, take the SP59 towards Porto Cervo, turning off near Abbiadori onto the scenic dirt track. The paid unpaved car park is exceptionally wide and sits just behind the beach, accommodating larger SUVs with ease. The journey from Olbia spans exactly 35 km, taking around 35 minutes.
