Many other amazing beaches are just a few kilometres from Gonnesa. Water sports are available in this area including surfing, windsurfing, kite surfing, and fishing For a historic trip: many are also areas with high historic value like Porto Flavia, the Nuragic site of Serucci, the deserted mining villages such as Monte Onixeddu and Seddas Moddizzis and many more in the surrounding area. For the countryside lovers: If you like trekking or cycling this is the perfect place for you: You would be able to walk or cycle around abandoned mines, see some of Europe’s tallest sand dunes, hidden coves, # juniper woods, sheer cliffs and coastal paths.
