Nestled between the beaches of Monte Cogoni and Campana Dune, Cala del Morto is a picturesque oasis of tranquility. This small, pristine cove features fine, golden sand and crystal-clear, shallow waters. The rather dramatic name 'Morto' (the Dead Man) refers to a cross among the rocks commemorating a past incident, yet the cove itself radiates enchanting beauty.

The gently sloping sandy shore makes Cala del Morto particularly family-friendly. Surrounded by a rocky landscape, it offers shelter and privacy. The emerald waters invite you to swim and snorkel, revealing a fascinating underwater world. Far from the hustle and bustle of larger beaches, Cala del Morto promises an authentic nature experience.

Accessible via paths leading from the neighboring beaches, the cove remains an insider tip for those who appreciate untouched nature and quiet beach days. It is a place where you can experience the southern Sardinian coast in its most pristine form.
