Dive into Sardinia's Regatta Season

In summer, Sardinia worships but one god: the sun. Locals hit remote beaches like Cala Mariolu, a show-stopping crescent of bright-white sand on the east coast, by rib. Or they bronze themselves on Cala Giunco next to a lagoon of flamingos. August is also regatta season. Charter a yacht for Prosecco and parties at Porto Rafael for the Trofeo Formenton or sail to Porto Cervo for the YCCS Members Championship.

Charter a yacht in August for early evening aperitivo, sun-baked medieval architecture and the hubbub of summer.
