Villasimius is a large, modern marina situated 12 miles east of Cagliari on the west side of Punta Santa Caterina, the extreme SE point of Sardinia. Since 1998 the area around Villasimius has been part of the Cabo Carbonara marine nature reserve. There are some wonderful beaches and a spectacular salt water lagoon within easy reach of the marina.
