2015-10-05 Marina di Villaputzu, Porto Corallo to Cala Pira, Punta Cappuccini, Sardinia, Italy

Marina di Villaputzu

Situated in south east Sardinia, Porto Corallo gets very busy in the high season

Once again we continue south down the east coast of Sardinia

We pass the lighthouse at Capo Ferrato

Almost to the south eastern tip of Sardina lies the island of Serpentara

The island is quite barren apart from the remains of an ancient lookout

The island is situated in the protected marine area of Capo Carbonara

Diving is very popular here around Serpentara Island and it is also a favourite haunt for dolphins

As there were no secure bays for overnight anchorage we head the short distance towards the coast

We approach Cala Pira

The beautiful turquoise water of Cala Pira looked so inviting

This area is no doubt a popular holiday destination in southern Sardinia

Another old lookout on Punta Cappuccini

We drop anchor here for the night and take the opportunity to have a long swim in the much cooler water here
