Palau is a large tourist town on the northern-most tip of the Sardinian coast and stands in front of the archipelago of La Maddalena. The tourist marina lies to the south of the berthing area reserved for the ferries to Palau and during the summer months it is full of boats of all shapes and sizes. The town has grown considerably in recent years, with complexes of villas and apartment blocks springing up along the coast. Today, the town is an autonomous municipality and has earned itself extraordinary success in the panorama of international tourism. Palau, with its coastline artistically moulded by nature, is one of the places most adapt for carrying out sailing and windsurfing activities. Towards the end of the last century, the area began to be populated by fishermen and farmers.
