Cala Goloritze'

The coves | The pearls of Ogliastra - A window on the coves of the Gulf of Orosei

One of the most evocative beaches in Sardinia, born from a landslide in 1962, it is famous for the 143 meters high pinnacle that overlooks the cove, also known to climbers for its sport climbing routes; the most famous is the Symphony of the Windmills, opened by Manolo and Alessandro Gogna at the end of the seventies. Another characteristic feature of the beach is the natural arch that opens on the right side of the bay. In a ravine between the rocks inside the beach there is also a source of fresh water that flows from the subsoil into the sea. The beach is made up of small white pebbles and sand. Goloritzé can be reached by sea, or by a path that from the Golgo plateau reaches the cove, with a vertical drop of 470 meters and about an hour and a half walk. Currently (since summer 2007) the coast near the beach (200 m from the shore) is completely closed to the traffic of motor boats to protect the beach from pollution and from the onslaught of tourists. Cala Goloritzè was declared a "Natural Monument" of the Sardinia Region in 1993, and then named "Italian National Monument" in 1995.

The coves | The pearls of Ogliastra - A window on the coves of the Gulf of Orosei

The Cala Mariolu beach opens into the Gulf of Orosei, in the locality of Punta Ispuligi. The name is linked to the monk seal, addressed by the fishermen "mariolu" (thief) as he took the catch from the nets. The waters are clear, the sand is mixed with round pink pebbles. The area is full of caves, one of which opens right onto the cove, while not far away is the Grotta del Fico, reachable thanks to the boats departing from the marinas of Arbatax, Cala Gonone and Santa Maria Navarrese. The beach is characterized by a shallow seabed which makes it safe for children to play. It is always very crowded due to the enchanting beauty of the naturalistic scenery and the seabed, which attract those who wish to immerse themselves in its waters.
