Question 1

Why choose Budoni over San Teodoro?

Accepted Answer

Budoni offers equally beautiful beaches with fewer crowds and lower prices, and is more family-oriented than the nightlife of San Teodoro. However, San Teodoro is still just a fifteen-minute drive away: you can have the best of both worlds.

Question 2

What are the best beaches for children?

Accepted Answer

Agrustos is the most sheltered, with very shallow water and services; the central Budoni beach has the pine forest for shade and wide equipped areas. Both are easily reachable with convenient parking close to the sand.

Question 3

Can flamingos be seen at the lagoon?

Accepted Answer

Yes, especially in spring and late summer, early in the morning or around sunset. The lagoon can be seen from the beach margins and the canal: bring binoculars and keep your distance from the birds.

Question 4

How do you get to Budoni?

Accepted Answer

The Olbia airport is about a 35-minute drive along the SS131dcn/SS125. A car is recommended: the districts and beaches are scattered over a large area and public transport is limited.

Question 5

Are there boat excursions from Budoni?

Accepted Answer

Yes, from the marina of Ottiolu (just a few minutes from the center) summer tours to Tavolara and the coast of Capo Coda Cavallo depart, along with boat rentals. Alternatively, departures from San Teodoro and Porto San Paolo are nearby.
