Palau — the gateway to the Emerald Coast of Sardinia

On the northeastern coast of Sardinia, in the province of Olbia-Tempio, lies a lively resort town often called the gateway to the famous Costa Smeralda — the Emerald Coast. Palau attracts tourists not only with its crystal-clear sea and granite cliffs, but also because it is the starting point for one of the most picturesque archipelagos in the Mediterranean. The town, with a population of about 4,000, transforms into a true tourist hub during the summer season, with numerous restaurants, shops, and yacht marinas.

Webcams in Palau allow you to see this corner of Sardinia in real time — from the harbor with fishing boats to panoramic views of the open sea. This is a great opportunity to check the weather at the resort before your trip or simply enjoy the atmosphere of the Italian Mediterranean. The live stream from the waterfront shows how the city changes throughout the day — from morning tranquility to evening bustle.

Port of Palau and ferries to the La Maddalena archipelago

The main port of access to the La Maddalena archipelago is located right in Palau. Ferries to the islands depart regularly from here, the largest of which are La Maddalena, Caprera, and Santo Stefano. The archipelago consists of 62 islands and is a national marine park, world-famous for its pink beaches and turquoise waters.

The port of Palau is not just a transport hub, but the true heart of the city. Life is always bustling here: fishermen unload their catch, tourists wait to board ferries, and yachtsmen prepare their vessels for sea. The live stream from the port camera shows this dynamics in real time — you can watch how activity changes throughout the day and even catch the departure of the next ferry to the islands. Ferries to the archipelago islands depart from the port, and you can watch this process right on your screen.

Beaches and bays: La Scumara and Porto Pollo

Within the town limits of Palau there are over 20 beaches, surrounded by majestic granite coastline. The largest of them is La Scumara beach, which stretches for about 800 meters. This is a sandy beach with a gentle entry into the water, ideal for family vacations. The water here is transparent and the bottom is sandy, making La Scumara one of the most popular swimming spots for families with children.

Not far from Palau is another iconic location — Porto Pollo. This village is situated on a narrow sandy isthmus between Palau and Santa Teresa Gallura, with beaches on both sides of the isthmus. This is where ideal conditions for water sports are created, and the panorama from both sides of the isthmus offers stunning views of the bay. Porto Pollo beach is famous for its white sand and crystal-clear water, while the granite cliffs at the edges of the beach create picturesque coves.

Punta Sardigna panorama: views of Corsica and the islands

On the outskirts of Palau lies the rocky promontory of Punta Sardigna — one of the best viewpoints on the entire northeastern coast of Sardinia. From the panoramic platform, you can see the town of Palau, the harbor with fishing boats, the La Maddalena archipelago, the island of Santo Stefano, and in good weather — even Corsica. A webcam with a panoramic view is installed on the promontory, along with information panels describing the views.

This place is especially beautiful at sunset, when the sun sets behind Corsica, painting the water in golden and pink hues. The camera at Punta Sardigna allows you to see this beauty in real time, without leaving home. On clear days, from this viewpoint you can watch yachts and ferries passing by as they cruise between Sardinia and the archipelago. The promontory is a favorite spot for photographers and artists who come here for the best shots of the coastline.

Windsurfing and water sports in Porto Pollo

Porto Pollo is one of the most famous spots for windsurfing, kitesurfing, and wing foiling in Europe. The secret lies in the constant northwest Maestrale wind, which blows at 15-30 knots usually from midday to early evening. This creates ideal conditions for sailing sports, attracting surfers from all over Europe. The protected bay on one side of the isthmus provides calm water for beginners, while the open sea on the other side offers perfect waves for experienced riders.

The live stream from the camera in Porto Pollo shows not only the beauty of the beach but also the activity on the water — you can see how many surfers are in the water, what the waves are like, and how strong the wind is. This is especially useful for those planning a trip for water sports and wanting to assess the conditions on site in advance. In the summer months, Porto Pollo turns into a true center of water entertainment, where you can rent equipment and take lessons from local instructors.

What the cameras show in the city

Webcams in Palau cover the key points of the resort: the port with the ferry crossing, the panoramic Punta Sardigna promontory, the La Scumara beach area, and the Porto Pollo waters. The port camera shows the pier from which ferries depart to the islands of the La Maddalena archipelago, as well as the yacht harbor and the waterfront. The panoramic camera on the promontory offers views of the town, the harbor, and in good weather — Corsica. The camera at La Scumara beach shows the coastline and the sea, and the stream from Porto Pollo shows windsurfing conditions and beach life on the isthmus.

All cameras operate in real time and are available for free viewing.
