Alghero Sports & Outdoors

If you are looking for a nice beach outside the city, not so crowded, Porto Conte is a good option. You can reach it by public bus. Ask at the tourist info. The buses leave from the park in front of tourist info.
It is not a marvellous beach, and the waters are too calm , as it is inside a bay, but it's not too crowded. There are a few hotels there in case you wanna have lunch or a drink.

We find by chance a very nice diving club on beach of Alghero, "via Lido 4" (15 minutes from the centertown). For a very good price we had a very personal service : only the 3 of us in the boat, you choose your diving sites (it was a great pleasure to dive in the Porto Conte Natural Parc : the wonderfull Nereo cave, other smaller caves and a lot of baracudas and octopus), we made a nigh-diving. The instructor is very friendly and the equipement is new and of good quality! Very good surprise, that why I took the time to make this recommendations, it is a great place!
