Sardinia has the clearest water in Italy and a string of remote coves where clothes-free swimming is the quiet norm. It suits anyone who wants the nude option without making a production of it.
Ask anyone who visits and you hear the same things: turquoise water and white sand, remote coves down dirt tracks, naturist campsites in the south and long, warm autumn. In practice that means Piscinas dunes and Porto Ferro.
Being part of Italy makes it simple to add to a longer trip around the area.

When to go and what the rules are
