Arbatax — Le Rocce Rosse
Sardinia
The Rocce Rosse are jagged blades and stacks of deep-red rhyolite standing in clear water next to Arbatax harbour, glowing at sunrise and sunset. A short path and steps let you scramble among them; the Bellavista and Orrì beaches spread down the coast toward Tortolì.
