Short description of Palau

Palau is a harbour town on the northeast coast of Sardinia and the gateway to the La Maddalena Archipelago, whose ferries leave its port every few minutes in summer. Above the town stands the Roccia dell'Orso, a granite outcrop shaped by the wind into the form of a bear, with wide views over the islands. Excursion boats sail from the harbour to Spargi, Budelli and Santa Maria. West of the town, Porto Pollo and the Isola dei Gabbiani form one of the Mediterranean's best spots for windsurfing and kitesurfing. A hilltop fort and small beaches complete this practical and lively base.
