Budoni Beach Blue Flag 2022
Budoni is a village on the coast north-eastern Sardinia. It is located approximately 30 km to sud di Olbia and about 12 km south of San Teodoro vicino all’Tavolara and Punta Coda Cavallo Marine Protected Area
A delightful village that is spread out along the main road - the SS 125 Orientale Sarda - with the rolling green hills.
The sea in the Budoni area has always been known for the particular colouring of its waters: limpid and enchanted. Le Budoni beaches are all very impressive, some really wild and untouched.
In the back dune belt of the Budoni beaches, it is possible to admire the typical plants of Sardinia and the Mediterranean maquis.
Exploring the coastal portion of the beaches, especially those wild and far from the built-up area always reserves unexpected surprises.
