Cala Mariolu: The Beach of "Snow Fleas"
Cala Mariolu is one of the most famous and enchanting beaches in the Gulf of Orosei. Its Italian name comes from an old story about a fisherman from Ponza who noticed that fish left in a cave mysteriously disappeared, "stolen" by the monk seal, which once inhabited these waters.
Locally known as Ispuligedenie or Is Puliges de Nie, meaning “snow fleas,” the name refers to the tiny white pebbles that cover the sand, creating the effect of a snowy expanse. The turquoise, crystal-clear waters of Cala Mariolu, combined with the presence of small sea caves, make it a true paradise for those seeking close contact with unspoiled nature.
Cala Sisine: The Mouth of the Codula del Golgo
Cala Sisine stands out for its size and beauty, offering a beach approximately 200 meters long, formed at the mouth of a small seasonal stream called Codula del Golgo. This beach is characterized by white pebbles that contrast beautifully with the clear, azure waters, creating a postcard-perfect scene.
During the summer months, Cala Sisine is accessible via a fleet of boats connecting the main beaches and coves of the Gulf of Orosei. Its location, nestled between the mountains and the sea, makes Cala Sisine the perfect destination for those seeking a day of relaxation in a uniquely stunning natural setting.
Cala Luna: An Icon of the Gulf of Orosei
Cala Luna is one of the most iconic beaches in Sardinia and the Gulf of Orosei, renowned for its unique shape and the majestic caves that frame it. Located at the mouth of the Codula di Luna stream, the beach stretches for several kilometers and is marked by towering limestone formations sculpted by the erosive power of the sea.
This location, which marks the boundary between the municipalities of Dorgali and Baunei, is often a point of territorial dispute but remains a meeting place for nature enthusiasts. With its crystal-clear waters, white sand, and sea caves, Cala Luna offers a unique visual and sensory experience, perfect for those looking to explore the coast by kayak, diving, or hiking.
