Porto Pollo is an Italian località, in the comune of Palau, on the northern Sardinian shore in the province of Sassari. It is named after the natural harbour just east of the baia di levante, east of Isuledda. The bay is known for watersports. Porto Pollo is situated 3½ km west of Porto Rafael.
Isola dei Gabbiani
The Isuledda, also called Isola dei Gabbiani, is an almost-island in northern Sardinia, Italy, facing the Sardinian channel. Covering an area of approximately 180,000 m2, it is almost completely surrounded by the sea, and connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus of sandy terrain, hence, despite the name, it is in fact a peninsula.
