Porto Torres doesn't have much to offer except for the harbor. Small shopping opportunities are available there, and the center offers restaurants.

The Porto tower, better known as the Aragonese Tower, is an icon of the area located in the city's port. Built in 1325 on the orders of the Aragonese admiral Carroz after the conquest of the territory, the tower had the dual function of sighting and protection of the city centre. Its octagonal structure recalls the Catalan architectural style. Over the centuries, it has taken on various tasks: in the 15th century it was used as a customs office for tax control, in the 16th century it was used as a bulwark against attacks by Barbary pirates, in the 17th century the guardians also took on the task of monitor ships to prevent the spread of the plague, while in the 20th century it was converted into a lighthouse.

Despite being about ten kilometers from the city, Platamona is Sassari's beach par excellence: a wide expanse of light sand that plunges into a sea of changing colours, varying from green to blue. Recognizable for its vastness, Platamona is the longest and most extensive beach on the entire coast which extends from Porto Torres to Castelsardo, embracing the Abbacurrente tower and joining the Marina di Sorso.
