Punta Goloritzé
Baunei
Cala Goloritzé is a spectacular beach on Sardinia's east coast, famous for its natural arch and the impressive Aguglia rock pinnacle.
Location
Cala Goloritzé is a natural monument of breathtaking beauty, located on Sardinia's Ogliastra coast. This pebble beach, formed by a landslide in 1962, is renowned for its crystal-clear, turquoise waters and impressive limestone scenery. Particularly striking are the natural rock arch extending into the sea and the "Aguglia," a rock pinnacle over 100 meters high, a popular destination for climbers.
Access to Cala Goloritzé is exclusively on foot via a hiking trail or by boat (keeping a distance from the shore), which makes it a particularly protected and pristine location. The hike itself is an experience, leading through Mediterranean maquis and old shepherd paths, offering spectacular views. Snorkeling and swimming in this natural paradise are a must for every nature lover and outdoor enthusiast.
