Cala di Pedralonga
Baunei
Cala di Pedra Longa, known for its striking limestone rock, offers a unique blend of nature and adventure on Sardinia's east coast.
Location
Cala di Pedra Longa is not a typical sandy beach but a stunning coastal landscape dominated by the 128-meter-high "Pedra Longa" rock, protected as a natural monument since 1993. This spot is ideal for nature lovers and hikers who appreciate the spectacular views and rugged beauty of the east coast.
The rocky shore does not invite sunbathing but is perfect for activities like diving, snorkeling, and sport fishing. Popular hiking trails also start from here, leading along the coast with breathtaking sea views. The location is a prominent landmark just outside Baunei and Santa Maria Navarrese.
Visitors can explore the area on well-maintained coastal paths, which, though not short, have no significant elevation gain and consistently offer beautiful sea vistas. Even if it's not a classic swimming spot, one can jump into the cool water at certain places and enjoy a refreshing dip.
Pedra Longa embodies the wild and unspoiled side of Sardinia and is a must-visit for anyone wishing to experience authentic nature away from the hustle and bustle. It is a place of tranquility and wonder, a majestic backdrop for unforgettable moments on the Sardinian coast.
