Cala dei Gabbiani, Seagulls’ beach, I think it’s the most beautiful beach of Sardinia, starting from its water colours to its beautiful underground made by high walls of rocks and enormous woods. The white pebbles give a huge light to all the beach and the atmosphere is just amazing. Its name comes from the seagulls habit to come to this beach when the sun sets, in the evening.

Cruised on the SS125 from Cala Gonone, what a thrilling ride!! We set out pretty early and really enjoyed the downhill hike to the cala...nothing will ever prepare you for the rugged, unspoilt beauty that is Goloritze....had to stop a minute to take it all in..on our visit the weather was fairly hot and the sea dramatically choppy, couldn’t swim around the way we wanted to but pretty sure we’ll do in the future but . The hike uphill is good exercise... do as they all say: pack some snacks, enough water and wear proper hiking shoes, i did wear trainers and stepping on those sharp rocks wasn’t exactly painless...

An incredible journey to the center of the Earth, just a few steps from the most beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean. Expert guides will lead you along an easy path, to discover the fascinating underground world and tell you the charming stories of this place. In a dreamlike atmosphere, surrounded by lights and shadows, you'll feel the ancient presence of the Monk Seal, there in its last shelter.

The grotto is only accessible by boat. Steep stairs from sea level. After entering the grotto and having paid your fee, you can have a guided tour or have the supplied audio equipment with prerecorded guiding. This prerecording is good and gives you many details about this magnificent grotto, just explored as late as in the sixties. You can easily get around in the grotto, since walking paths and stairs are installed. Beautiful lightening makes the experience unique.

One of the best beaches in Sardinia! Emerald water, white sand, wild bush, and huge caves. The beach can only be reached, by boat, from the Cala Gonone harbour (20 minutes, 20 Euros two ways ticket) or, if you're enough brave, by a long walk (approximately 3 hours) The big caves are good, to have a fresh rest on the hottest hours of the day. Behind the beach there's a small restaurant, with a large covered terrace, and some tables outside the facility. Usually the place is very busy on August. I absolutely recommend to visit. Must see!!!

We had this beach recommended and it did not disappoint. There was something different to do every day. The water goes out waist deep for quite some way and our (just turned) 3 year old found this perfect for swimming. There are smooth granite rock islands a short wade out from the beach which were perfect for a 3 year old to explore, she spent an entire morning here looking for crabs, 'opening a shop', eating a picnic etc. the sand is perfect sandcastle building sand and its also great for hunting small shells. There was another rock in the middle of the beach, just at the tide line which she clambered over and slid into the water and sang at the top of her lungs from (apologies to any people who had to listen, I think the sound of the sea mostly drowned out the noise!). A mix of rented sun loungers and take your own towel space, I would definitely recommend and will definitely return.

Just a beautiful place to hike or sit and just be in nature. It is very quiet and very easy to get to. The various rock formations and colors are something to see.
