Palau is located in a fork of the northern coast of Sardinia, Italy. It is one of the most spectacular and noteworthy seaside towns in Gallura which borders the Emerald Coast. Its coastline offers a variety of golfi, dream-like bays, uncontaminatedspiagge and small rocky islands that emerge from a crystal-clear sea teaming with life.
Palau's artistically shaped coastlines are sculpted by the wind that generates a wide variety of shapes and forms in its rocks. The most famous is that of dell'Orso. Over thousands of years, the atmospheric agents have amazingly transformed this rock to unmistakably appear like a bear.
