Calling all you free spirits spending your holidays in Sardinia! You absolutely must NOT miss out on a day at Porto Pollo, the spiritual home of windsurfing and one of the best destinations near Palau where the order of the day is sea, sport and fun.

This small stretch of land that connects the mainland to the Isola dei Gabbiani is almost a little world in itself, a meeting point for people from all over the world, brought together by the desire to enjoy the sea from every point of view.

Porto Pollo or Porto Puddu, considered one of the top European hot spots and a surfer’s paradise for 30 years was discovered in the 1980s by windsurfing legend Robby Naish. Every day from March to October, the sport’s up-and-coming youngsters set the sea and sky alight in a spectacle of multicoloured sails and acrobatics stretching as far as the islands of the nearby La Maddalena Archipelago.
