Join me on a day in the wild beauty of northern Sardegna — swimming, stand-up paddling, short hikes, and sweeping drone views over dramatic coastline. This video is a visual poem in motion, set against the raw power of wind, waves, and ancient stone. One highlight of the journey is the Piscine Naturali di Budelli (Natural Pools of Budelli). These are not man-made pools but rock-worn basins carved by wind, waves, and erosion in Budelli's granite coast. The water there is so clear and shallow that it looks like a mirror of sky and stone. Budelli is part of the Arcipelago di La Maddalena, a protected national park off the northeast coast of Sardinia. Because of its ecological fragility, since 1994 both beach access and swimming are prohibited in certain zones (including the famous "Pink Beach") to preserve the habitat and unique sand composed of coral and shell fragments. When you watch the footage, you'll see natural rock "pools" along the shoreline (often called Le Piscine), shallow basins protected from strong currents by the surrounding rock formations. The interplay of granite, quartz, and volcanic stone gives Budelli its rugged texture and beauty. I hope this video transports you — even just a little — into that moment between sea and stone, wind and tether, distance and connection.
