Foci del Coghinas : A Natura 2000 Protected Area (Northern Sardinia)

At the point where the Coghinas River meets the sea, nature creates a landscape that is rare in the Mediterranean: a shifting boundary of lagoon waters, reedbeds, sandbanks, and coastal dunes, all protected within the Natura 2000 network. The Foci del Coghinas is not just a place to “see”—it is a living ecosystem that changes with seasons, light, wind, and tides.

Here, the atmosphere is calm and immersive. Quiet channels cut through the reeds, dune vegetation holds the shoreline, and open skies make every moment feel expansive. It’s an ideal setting for birdwatching, slow boat excursions, and nature photography, where the experience is defined by silence, observation, and discovery rather than crowds and noise.

Visiting the Foci del Coghinas means stepping into a protected natural sanctuary where biodiversity thrives—an authentic side of Sardinia, shaped by water and time, and best explored with respect and curiosity.
