General info:

private://Cala Mariolu overlooks the Gulf of Orosei and it is situated in Punta Ispuligi (Baunei). This beach is serious competition to all of the above and my wife and son actually put it in joint first place, with the splendid Cala Luna, as the best beach in Sardinia. The beach takes its name from the nun seal called private://marioluprivate:// by Sardinian fishermen. The seabed and the beach are lined with pink pebbles and the colour of the water is without doubt even more spectacularly beautiful than any of the other Sardinian beaches or Italian beaches. Photos don’t do it justice and the deep azure blue of the water reminds one more of a swimming pool. An uncontaminated paradise of incomparable beauty, this is another great beach for children who can play safely near the shore in the shallow water. Bigger children and adults can have a great time exploring the nearby caves. Cala Mariolu is a great beach for snorkeling and scuba as well.private://

Getting there:

private://By sea is best on one of the many boats leaving the ports of Cala Gonone, Arbatax and Santa Maria Navarrese. It can be reached by foot but I have never tried to do so and it is meant to be an arduous hike. If you want some serious exertion before relaxing on perhaps the the best beach in Sardinia then go for it!!private://
