What to do in the Bay of Orosei, Sardinia
Bay of Orosei, Sardinia?
8215° Sardinia is the best beach destination in all of Italy, but the coves in the Gulf of Orosei definitely take the cake. We're not talking about long, sandy beaches here, but rather small coves (many of them with pebble beaches) hidden among the cliffs. However, the color of the water in this part of the coast is absolutely incredible. The intense sapphire blue is like nothing I've ever seen before. Part of the charm of many of the coves is the lack of easy access. You either go hiking for a few hours over terrain which isn't marked on the map, or you go by boat from Cala Gonone or rent a zodiac boat (gommone, in Italian). Boats give you the most mobility and let you explore a lot of grottoes and caves that are scattered around the coast, the most stunning of which is the Bue Marino Grotto. I sincerely recommend visiting the coves in the Gulf of Orosei and spending a few days there. Aside from Cala Luna (the closest to Cala Gonone), other great beaches aer Cala Mariolu, Cala Biriola, Cala Sisine, and the spectacular cliffs at Cala Goloritze. Nonetheless, remember that in this part of Italy, these beaches are very well-known and sometimes access to boats and hotels shoots up and the beaches get crowded. I'd recommend visiting in the off-season. asked someuser 125 answers
