What to Expect
Cala Goloritzé offers a remote beach experience framed by towering limestone formations and lush Mediterranean vegetation. The clear water provides a refreshing break after the journey, whether by foot or boat. Hikers can enjoy expansive views along the trail, while boat visitors get an awe-inspiring first glimpse of the beach from the water. Expect a peaceful atmosphere in the mornings, with afternoons becoming livelier, especially during peak season.
The Perfect Photo
Early mornings and late afternoons provide the best lighting conditions for capturing the beach’s limestone formations and clear water. The beach’s iconic pinnacle rock serves as an excellent focal point for photography, and the reflections in the calm morning water enhance the scenery.

Insider Tips
- If hiking, start early to avoid the midday heat and enjoy a quieter beach experience.
- Pack plenty of water and food, as there are no services at the beach.
- Wear sturdy hiking shoes and sun protection for the trail.
- Booking a boat tour in advance is recommended during peak season to secure a spot.
Other Activities
In addition to Cala Goloritzé, a full-day boat tour along Sardinia’s east coast can take you to Cala Mariolu, Cala Biriola, and the Grotta del Bue Marino. These destinations offer a mix of hiking, snorkeling, and exploration opportunities, making them excellent additions to your itinerary.
Best Time to Visit
Plan your visit between May and October for the most favorable weather. Spring and early autumn offer mild temperatures and fewer crowds, while summer provides excellent swimming conditions but can bring intense heat—an early morning arrival is highly recommended.
Getting There
Cala Goloritzé can be reached by a 3.5-kilometer hike from the Su Porteddu parking area, taking about 1.5 to 2 hours. Boat tours also provide access from Cala Gonone or Arbatax, allowing visitors to explore the coastline and other nearby beaches without the trek. Those arriving by boat will experience incredible views as they approach the cove.
Admission & Opening Hours
A conservation fee of approximately €6 per person applies to hikers, helping to protect the area's natural beauty. The hiking trail is open year-round, though summer months can be particularly hot. Boat services operate seasonally, typically from April to October.
Where to Stay
For a comfortable stay, consider accommodations in the nearby town of Baunei, which provides a variety of options from cozy guesthouses to comfortable hotels with panoramic mountain views. Baunei’s location offers easy access to hiking trails and boat tours alike.
