Boat trip along the coast of Baunei
» Sardinia » Sardinia » Sardinia
This trip will take you to discover in detail the Costa di Baunei up to Cala Biriala, the furthest point we will reach.
During the navigation, we will break the journey with some photo stops: The spire of Pedralonga, the extraordinary Baus waterfalls, the Grotta dei Colombi and the Goloritzé beach are just some of the many attractions that this coast offers us.
We will go down to the beaches of Cala Gabbiani, Cala Mariolu and Cala Biriala for about 1h 30 ', with an order that may vary depending on the period, a choice due to the hours of sunshine and the flow of tourists, factors that vary during the season.
Between one stop and another there is the possibility of visiting the Grotta del Fico, to enter the heart of this limestone coast.
A nice swim in the waters of Cala Goloritzè will refresh us before returning.

What To Expect
Cala Goloritze
The view we will enjoy during this stop will leave you breathless.
Hidden in the first corner of the coast after Capo Monte Santo, it is the most popular destination for hikers who reach Baunei.
In fact, it can only be reached by land via a trek for hikers.
The buoy field that protects it, however, allows us to take a dip in its crystalline waters which, according to visitors, are the clearest and blue of the entire coast.
What makes it so precious and unique is its famous rock arch which is now an unmistakable logo of Baunei, and its Spire, Punta Caroddi, which with its 148 asl attracts climbers from all over the world.

Cala dei Gabbiani
In fact, the first to sail along this stretch of coast distinguished the two beaches, as they are divided by a central rock that does not allow them to be connected on foot.
However, those who lived even before on these mountains, or the shepherds of Baunei, made no distinctions, both being reachable from their point of view and being very similar and close. "Ispuliggedenie" word of the Sardinian Baunese, which translated means "Snow fleas", is the name that they poetically associated with the white pebbles that compose it.
A small colony of seagulls occupies the beach every day during the empty hours of visitors, also taking the name of this splendid beach.

Grotta del Fico
The guides, professional and engaging, illustrate its geology, the history of caving and the first visits by local shepherds, the culture of this corner of Sardinia. Their training is continuous, by the AGTI, the Italian Tourist Caves Association.
The path is easy, almost entirely on steel walkways and extends over several levels. We visit various rooms and galleries and it is even possible to look out over the sea, inside the Grotto.
The environments are very varied, as well as the concretions and the colors that can be admired.
The guided tour can be in Italian, English, French, German, Spanish and Russian. We are equipped with an audio guide system, to better manage the multilingual visit: in this way the visitor experience is not burdened and everyone receives the content in the right measure.

Cala Biriala
Its arch of rock makes it unmistakable, and its first sandy and then immediately rocky bottoms make it the ideal place for snorkelling enthusiasts.
Also reachable via a path for expert hikers, it is famous among the locals for having been the site of a great deforestation work carried out by the Tuscan charcoal workers between the early 1900s and the mid-1960s.

Cala Mariolu
In fact, it was elected the most beautiful beach in Italy in 2016, and its colored waters of various shades between blue and emerald green prove to deserve this primacy.
