Arbatax is a small port bordering Tortoli, Sardinia. The name is derived from the Arabic for "13th Tower" and refers to the nearby watchtower.

The port is used by ferries from Civitavecchia and is also monopolized by the marine construction company Intermare, who build gas rigs and vessels. The marina is one of the cheapest in Sardinia and provides an excellent base for exploring the splendid Eastern coastline.

The famous "Trenino verde" tourist train chugs up into the mountainous hinterland.

Mussels are farmed in the nearby lagoon and fresh fish are on sale from the fishing cooperative. The red rocks are the most photographed but least impressive feature in Arbatax. The least photographed but most impressive feature must be the wonderful view from the lighthouse which sits above the village.
