Portisco presents itself through several clearly defined local features: the beach, marina, town center and surrounding area. For planning your trip, you can organize these focal points by landscape, activities on the water and culture. This combination makes the town interesting for different daily itineraries without limiting it to just one experience.

Beach and coastal landscape

Spiaggia di Portisco is sheltered from the wind and has fine white sand, a shallow sandy seabed and turquoise water. In Portisco, a strip of rock that partly protrudes from the water ends near the granite island of the same name. In the immediate vicinity there are other sites and places classified as beaches: Spaggia Rena Bianca, Spiaggia Razza di Juncu per cani, Playa Razza de junco and Petra Ruja. The various beach locations can therefore be considered a separate landscape focus alongside the marina's offerings.

Diving, snorkeling and boats

Leila Diving Center at the Marina di Portisco offers guided single and double dives every day. It also offers snorkeling trips and diving courses for all levels.

Ammenthos offers personalized boat tours that depart daily from the harbor of the Marina di Portisco. At the marina, Ammenthos operates a rental service for dinghies and boats. In addition, Ammenthos offers boat rentals with a skipper from the marina, departing in the morning and returning at sunset. For planning your day, the half-day tour, the morning departure and the return at sunset represent different time frames.

The half-day dinghy tour along the Costa Smeralda starts in Portisco. This gives you various opportunities around the marina to experience the water actively or as part of a guided tour.

Art, history and archaeology

An exhibition of Sardinian artisans takes place in Portisco's town center on Fridays from 6:00 p.m. to midnight. The historic site Torre costiera is located in the immediate vicinity of Portisco. The ancient sites Nuraghe Albucciu and Holy Well Sa Testa, as well as the Museo archeologico di Olbia museum, are also located in the area surrounding Portisco. The cultural spectrum therefore ranges from local crafts to historic and ancient destinations, as well as a museum visit.
