The region · Costa Paradiso
Pink granite and turquoise seas.
The queen of beaches, rocky sea access points and coves to reach on foot. There are so many ways to discover the sea around Costa Paradiso: these are the places to start.
A must-see · Beach
Li Cossi
The queen of Costa Paradiso.
Majestic, dramatic, unforgettable. Li Cossi is the queen of beaches: towering pink granite cliffs embrace the sand, creating a spectacular contrast with the turquoise sea.
It is one of those places to see at least once, an essential stop during a holiday in Costa Paradiso. Even the walk there is part of its beauty: step by step, the coastal path prepares you for your first glimpse of the beach.
Not to miss: the scenic path and your first view of the cove.
Within Costa Paradiso
Three rocky access points,
one beautiful sea.
Li Baietti, Li Sorgenti and Li Tamerici are sea access points among the rocks: places to enjoy with a mask, snorkel and curiosity about what lies beneath the surface.
Rocky sea access
Li Baietti
Granite meets the sea in a succession of rocks and little pools. A rocky sea access point for those who enjoy snorkeling and swimming among the rocks, in a landscape whose colours change until sunset.
Rocky sea access
Li Sorgenti
Clear water, rocks and seabeds to explore at your own pace. Li Sorgenti is a sea access point for swimming and snorkeling, letting curiosity guide you through the colours of the water.
Rocky sea access
Li Tamerici
Another encounter with the rocky side of Costa Paradiso. Li Tamerici is a sea access point for those who prefer rocks to sand and love exploring the water with a mask and snorkel.
For all three: water shoes are recommended for moving over the rocks. Bring a mask and snorkel for snorkeling.
Between Costa Paradiso and Isola Rossa
The sea, for those
who love walking.
Porto Leccio and Tinnari invite you to continue along the coast: pebble beaches, wild landscapes and the pleasure of reaching a destination on foot.
Pebble beach
Porto Leccio
Beyond Li Cossi, following the coast towards Isola Rossa, you reach Porto Leccio. A quiet pebble beach for those seeking a more secluded stop and wishing to venture beyond the best-known places.
Choose it for: a longer coastal walk and a swim away from the crowds.
Wild beach · Hiking
Tinnari
A unique beauty, with its characteristic heart shape. Tinnari is a mostly pebbly, wild beach with no facilities: its unspoilt nature makes it an ideal destination for those who love hiking.
You can reach it on foot from Costa Paradiso or the Tinnari area, or by inflatable boat from the sea. Take your time and enjoy the walk and the landscape.
Good to know: there are no facilities on the beach. Bring water and everything you need for the day.
And then, leave room
for discovery.
The coast offers many other hidden corners, little coves and natural pools among the rocks. You cannot find everything by following a name on a map: sometimes you just need to take a path, walk a little further and look around. Part of the pleasure is exploring to find your own corner of the sea.

Getting around
I recommend having a car to explore the beaches and surrounding area. For Li Cossi, allow for the final stretch on foot along the path.
Choosing the right home
Access and distance from the sea vary from one home to another. See the pages for La Casa del Leccio, La Casa del Lentischio, La Casa dell’Oleandro, Villa Stelle, or tell me what you need.
