Baja Sardinia between beaches, the town center and local history
Accommodation in Baja Sardinia
Beaches and town center on the Maddalena Archipelago
Baja Sardinia combines fine-sand beaches with a central town area and views of the Maddalena Archipelago. Cala Battistoni is the central beach of Baja Sardinia. Bars, hotels, restaurants, shops and other services are located in the immediate vicinity of Cala Battistoni. Here, the beach and town area merge directly into one another.

On foot in the center and by bus to the beach
Piazzetta Due Vele and the central part of the town are accessible on foot; parking spaces are located next to them. Cala Battistoni can also be reached by the Lu Pustali bus service via the Baja Sardinia stop. The central beach is therefore accessible both on foot from the town area and by bus. Piazzetta Due Vele, the parking spaces next to it and the Baja Sardinia stop thus mark three specific points of reference for routes to the central beach. For planning the day, walking, parking and traveling by bus can be considered separately.
Tre Monti and other beaches
Tre Monti offers a different beach perspective. The beaches are very close to the center of Baja Sardinia and are among the preferred beaches for sunset visits. Tre Monti consists of many small beaches and is suitable for snorkeling. Spiaggia di Baia Sardinia, Cala Bitta, Spiaggia di Porto Cervo and Cala Ginepro are located in the surrounding area of Baja Sardinia.
Water park and rocky setting
Acquadream is a water park in Baja Sardinia and an alternative to the sea and beaches. Phi Beach is located on the cliffs next to the historic Forte Cappellini. The cliffside location and the historic landmark give this place a different spatial character from the sandy beaches. This means that the water park and the cliffs next to the historic Forte Cappellini are available as distinct points of reference within Baja Sardinia for planning the day.
Local history and surrounding area
Baja Sardinia was founded in the 1960s on the initiative of the Gentili family and was formerly called Battistoni. The former name Battistoni belongs to the historical designation and is not the current name of Baja Sardinia. The Ritual ruins are located in the surrounding area of Baja Sardinia.
Museums in the surrounding area
There are several museums in the surrounding area of Baja Sardinia. These include the Museo del Mare e delle tradizioni marinaresche, the Museo geo-mineralogico naturalistico di La Maddalena-Caprera and the Compendio Garibaldino di Caprera. Those interested in culture can consider these three museums alongside the beaches and water park when planning their visit. When planning a day in Baja Sardinia, Cala Battistoni, Piazzetta Due Vele, the Baja Sardinia stop, Tre Monti and the museums in the surrounding area can be noted as separate points of reference.
