Two rental agencies in the village give you the flexibility to reach the most remote beaches without relying on buses.

From Villasimius center it's 50 km north to Cagliari, Sardinia's capital, a drive of about 50 minutes via SS125. Punta Molentis, one of the island's most beautiful beaches, is just 5 km south. Costa Rei with its long sandy beaches is reached 25 km north along the coast, about 30 minutes' drive.

Rent a car early to reach Spiaggia del Riso and Campus before they fill with swimmers – parking is limited during high season.
