Capriccioli

Capriccioli is a coastal beach in the Costa Smeralda region with fine white sand interrupted by large granite boulders. Pine forests and Mediterranean plants line the cove and provide natural shade across the shoreline.

The coastal region took its modern form in the mid-20th century when Costa Smeralda was developed as a resort destination. This particular beach remained less built up than neighboring areas and kept a more natural character.

The beach is part of Sardinian coastal life where fishing traditions and seaside customs remain visible throughout the year. Locals and visitors share the water and shoreline, creating a relaxed social atmosphere typical of Mediterranean villages.

The beach has limited parking nearby, so early arrival during peak times is advisable. A restaurant at the cove offers refreshments and meals, while umbrellas and loungers can be rented.

The granite boulders form natural pools and inlets where snorkeling reveals interesting marine life without special equipment. These formations result from geological processes over millions of years, making each visit visually unique.
