Is named Emerald coast to the coastal strip of the Sardinian region of Gallura, located in the province of Olbia-Tempio, on the northeast coast of the Italian island of Sardinia (Italy). The Costa Smeralda became for decades a tourist area par excellence, focused mainly on luxury tourism. Geographically Costa Esmeralda includes the city of Arzachena and extends along 88 kilometers of coastline, marked by inlets, small beaches, including the famous Maddalena archipelago and other islands such as Cappuccini, Bisce, Li Nibani, Mortorio, Le Camere and Soffi.
Undoubtedly the nerve center of Costa Esmeralda is located in the town of Porto Cervo, where the traveler can find all kinds of services in addition to a varied commercial offer and also a strong urban concentration, in places such as Cala di Volve, Pevero Golf, Romazzino, Piccolo Pevero, Liscia di Vacca and Pantogia.
Apart from the so-called Costa Esmeralda Consortium, which groups the aforementioned urbanizations, in the area located between Porto Cervo and Cala di Volpe, commercial and residential towns such as Abbiadori were also developed, and others that although they are formally part of Costa Esmeralda are associated by their proximity and by the differentiated tourist offer , such as Cannigione, Porto Rotondo, Poltu Quatu and Baja Sardinia.
