Cala Goloritzè, Baunei

We absolutely loved the hike! Especially the way there. We are not hikers yet we were able to do the way there in 50min and the way back in 1h10! Getting there is quite easy but the way back was really hard. You must book in advance as the places are limited, nevertheless the beach is extremely busy and it's almost impossible to find a nice spot in the sun on the beach. The beach is quite small but the sea is absolutely fantastic. We were scared that it might be too sunny but actually most of the beach was in the shade by 12pm. Highly reccomend bringing water and food (as there is no bar on or near the beach) and insect repellent as it is FULL of wasps. The water is absolutely fantastic and crystal clear but there are some biting fishes next to the shore

Let’s talk turkey: You need to earn this fantastic view. The hike takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. But seriously it is definitely worth it. You will be rewarded with a fantastic beach with turquoise and clear water - a bit saltier though. The sand is white and beautiful. When we were there, we could see some jellyfish. So you better watch out. The trail winds through sun-drenched fields, rocky caves and shady groves where you can say hello to goats and wild boars. Take plenty of water with you, wear trekking shoes or at least sneakers and apply enough sunscreen.

As many reviews say be ready for the walk/hike. It's 3.6kms each way with approximately 500m of climbing, it's more difficult on the way back. Cost is €6 and parking is free. Shoes are a must, the path is easy to follow but the terrain is harsh. Take plenty of water especially if you plan on staying at the beach for a while, there is literally no where to buy anything once at the beach. The beach itself is very busy, I went around 3pm (mostly for the hike) and the beach was full. Also word of warning the beach isn't always as calm as some photos might show, with a slight wind out at sea the waves can be very rough and wouldn't recommend for not confident swimmers. Highly recommended it overall, it's a real gem of Sardinia and one that many will not be able to say they have been to!

Oh my word, where do u begin. Only 250 people per day are allowed so make sure u book before u go through the “heart of sardinia” app. We went with the car very early in the morning. and left it at the parking up there. stocked on water as there’s literally nothing after the restaurant at the parking on the trek down there. It’s around 3.5 km of very uncomfortable steps and walkways, well marked so wouldn’t get lost. Still, very difficult, it’s around 600m change in elevation. Took us 1h on the way down and 1:30 back up. Most important thing is to make sure u have water for the way back up, ur body will thank u for it. also beware of the goats. the beach itself is indescribable, I will leave it at that.

Large parking area is directly in front of the parc leading to Cala Goloritze. Entry is 6€/person because they want to limit number of visitors on the small beach. Water is as blue as in the caribean sea. Strongly recommend to start early in the morning because at 3 p.m. sun (November) will be behind the mountains. Very technical down and up-hill. No flip-flops 🤣🤣🤣
