The 7 most beautiful beaches in the Gulf of Orosei: places that you won’t forget

It is located halfway between Olbia and Arbatax, two of the main tourist destinations in Sardinia. It is famous, above all, for one reason: its sea and its coast. And below you can find the most beautiful beaches in the Gulf of Orosei: you will never forget these seven places, we can assure you.

1. Cala Goloritzé

Cala Goloritzé is one of the most beautiful beaches in Sardinia. It is famous not only for the transparent sea and the white pebble beach but also for the spectacular stone arch that overlooks it.

2. Cala Biriola

A green forest crossed by numerous paths overlooks a small white sand beach. The cove can be reached by sea (best solution) or walking along a path recommended for hikers (challenging but breathtaking solution).

3. Cala Luna

A seven-hundred-meter beach touched by a blue sea embraced by the green of the Mediterranean scrub: this is Cala Luna. Behind it, there are a small fresh water lake and several caves.

4. Cala Mariolu

Its white sand and its blue sea are unparalleled: this is Cala Mariolu.

5. Cala Sisine

Beyond Cala Luna, there are two rocky ridges. Cala Sisine is located here. The white colour of the sand is so bright that it seems to shine. A beautiful but not-easy-to-reach beach.

6. Cala dei Gabbiani

Among the less known and, for this reason, most precious beaches, Cala dei Gabbiani is a small cove surrounded by white rocks overlooking the sea (and it is a part of cala Mariolu).

7. Sos Dorroles

It is located just south of Cala Gonone. Sos Dorroles is a perfect crescent, protected by an orange cliff, a unique place in Sardinia and, perhaps, in the whole world.
