● Slippers or beach sandals: useful for getting around easily on the boat and on the beach.

Protecting yourself is essential to avoid sunburn and dehydration.
● High-protection sun cream (SPF 50): choose a waterproof and eco-friendly version, to respect the marine environment.
● Wide-brimmed hat or cap: preferably breathable and lightweight.
● Polarised sunglasses: they help reduce the glare of light on the water, improving visibility and protecting your eyes. Equipment for snorkelling and relaxing in the water The waters of Cala Granara and the other beaches of Spargi are among the most transparent in Sardinia. Bring with you:
● Mask and snorkel: to explore the seabed and observe the colourful fish.
