Cala Sisine
Dorgali
Cala Sisine is a picturesque cove on Sardinia's east coast, renowned for its fine pebble beach, crystal-clear waters, and majestic cliffs.
Location
Nestled in the rugged coastal landscape of the Gulf of Orosei, Cala Sisine is considered one of Sardinia's most beautiful beaches. The beach, approximately 200 meters wide, consists of small golden pebbles that make the turquoise water appear even more vibrant. Surrounded by the Serra Ovra cliffs, which rise over 500 meters, the cove offers a breathtaking natural backdrop.
The water colors range from light blue to deep turquoise, making snorkeling and swimming a truly special experience. Although Cala Mariolu is often considered even more spectacular, Cala Sisine is certainly its equal in terms of beauty and tranquility. It is an ideal spot for those looking to escape the crowds and enjoy Sardinia's untouched nature.
In the evenings, gulls often gather here, which is why some also refer to it as "Cala dei Gabbiani" (Gull's Cove). This adds an extra, peaceful atmosphere, especially during sunset, when the cliffs are bathed in warm light.
