The beaches along the coast of Sassari are particularly attractive, over thirty kilometers long, including that of Paltamona, Fiume Santo, Argenteria and Porto Ferro. The Mediterranean vegetation is exceptionally prolific, featuring a number typical Sardinian plants such as myrtle, arbutus or strawberry tree, and lentisk or mastic tree. Water is present in the Pilo and Paltamona pond, the Bunnari Basin and Lake Baratz. Events of certain interest: the Cavalcade, the Candelieri and the Rituals of the Holy Week.
