Very beautiful beach with unique landscape and cows at the back of the beach. I really disappointed that didn’t visit the caves but hopefully next time. Overall highly recommended to visit!!

Amazing beach! It’s crowded because of the boat tours but you can cross to the caves where it’s much better

Walked to the beach some years ago- this year only seen from boat. It's a wonderful one, but crowded. Long. The caves are impressive - and the back part is lovely too!

It's not the easiest place to reach — you either hike for a couple of hours or take a boat (30 euro)— but it’s 100% worth it. The beach itself is stunning: soft sand, clear turquoise water, and big caves right along the shore that give you shade when the sun gets too strong. The view looks like a postcard, but real. No loud crowds, just nature and peace.

What an experience! The views of the beach and caves are amazing, the rock formations are incredible, great for some pictures!

Stunning beauty and unique natural features. It's characterized by its crystal-clear turquoise waters, white sand, and imposing limestone cliffs and caves.

We paid €60 per person to reach Cala Luna by a large boat — and while the price is on the higher side, the destination itself is definitely worth the trip. The water is crystal clear and incredibly inviting, perfect for swimming and relaxing. However, the experience is slightly spoiled by the condition of the beach cave walls — they’re covered in scratches and graffiti, which takes away from the natural beauty of the place. It’s unfortunate that such a stunning spot hasn’t been better preserved. The beach was also quite crowded, which made it feel less like a hidden gem and more like a tourist hotspot. Still, if you manage to come early in the day or off-season, you might catch it at its best. Cala Luna has amazing potential, and with a bit more care and fewer people, it could easily be one of the most magical places in Sardinia.

Nice harbour and good place to rent a boat to visit cala marioula

Amazing and cozy marina just before the Orosei Gulf. Very well maintained, clean, and full services. Nice Bar and very good restaurant. No gasoline. A perfect rest after a long sailing.

Parking for free at the nearby tennis courts. The cafe there does great coffee and food.

Beautiful Marina. We were able to walk around freely and look at the boat. Driving and boating activities department from here. Cute Cafe open all day.

Great location and place itself with very marvelous scenarios. Very good beach with big rocks in the water from where you can jump into the water safely.

We spent 2 nights in this nice marina. It's quiet and very clean, with a bar-restaurant in side with Gelato 😊

Great little bar nice people, fresh water and clean toilets

Free public beach with small peblesand some rocks. You have easy access to free parking and restaurants and terraces. There is also a large camping area and a small place to eat with tables in the shades given by the pine trees.

A beautiful, clean, free public pebbled beach. Would recommend bringing swim shoes to walk along the beach. The water is so clear with hardly any waves. There are four places along the beach to rent chairs and umbrellas. We paid €23 for two chairs and an umbrella. Showers and a changing room were included. There is a lot of free parking nearby, too, and plenty of bars for food or drink.

A small beach right in the city with a paid and unpaid part. The beach is pebbly and there are many large stones on the bottom of the sea, which is not pleasant for swimming or playing in the water. There is a shady park by the beach and beach bars.

Overall very nice beach with beautiful, clean water. Not too much crowded even in July. Parking near. No WC, no shower.

A beautiful beach. The water is clear and warm in the end of June. I think July and August is perfect. There is a bar on the beach with a fee toilet. There is small pebble on the beach but it is not sharp. The larger portion of the beach is very small pebble which is almost like sand. Very recommended.

Great beach with quite a bit of space even if it’s crowded. Decent snorkeling. Rocks to jump off of a couple dozen meters off shore

Beautiful... good location, stone beach..but very good for swimming, nice big underwater stone ...possible Jump...nice coast, close to city and market, restorante. BUT Very dirty beach...photo add

Nice beach, it should be much better if.not crowded, I wonder when it would because I have been in september. I super liked the snorkeling around very clear water on the north Bring your swimming shoes, they are required for better confort

Quite a pleasant beach, though definitely more on the rocky side. The downside is the constant flow of boats in high season, since that’s basically the main way to get here. On the plus side, just about 300 meters from the beach there’s a small bar and restaurant, so you can grab some water, have a beer, or get something to eat if you need a break. Even in peak season it didn’t feel unbearably crowded on the sand, so overall it turned out to be a really nice experience.

One of my favourite beaches in Sardinia. We got there by boat as part of a boat tour, but you can also get there on foot via a hiking trail. Quite spacious, but definitely take a beach umbrella and lots of water especially if you're going in the summer.

Beautiful beach with pebble stones

A rocky beach that is absolutely nothing special. Overcrowded because of all the boats. It gets deep very near to the shore and it’s not a place where you can peacefully swim or relax

Cala Sisine is a wide beach where everyone can find their own spot. The shore is rocky, so water shoes are a must. We chose to reach it by car (not a 4x4), which turned out to be quite challenging on a very steep and stony road. From the parking area, it’s about a 40-minute walk to the beach on a pleasant flat trail. Along the way you’ll pass goats 😊and enjoy some truly stunning views.

Probably the best beach regarding space as it’s wide Still rocks on the beach and water and lots of people we’ve been to better beaches in Sardinia

Really dangerous route, and it’s not well signposted. I was alone and got lost. Luckily (after almost having a panic attack), I met other people who were also lost, and together we managed to climb back up. It was the scariest thing that has ever happened to me. I recommend going by boat and not by hiking 😅

Stunning beach and look offs! We did the hike and I will say this was very strenuous for us, two people of average fitness. I now have a headache. You must download the map off of the All Trails app as there won’t be internet access and it’s easy to take a wrong turn. There are some parts of the hike that are quite daunting, like steep wooden ladders with big vertical drops. Not for those who have a fear of heights. Took us about 1.5-2hrs each way. The beach itself is so beautiful, with small and smooth white pebble rocks. Water shoes are ideal but not necessary. The water is unreal and the surrounding cliffs also look amazing. Seeing the cliffs and water from the hike down was awesome, but I would take a boat if I went again.

Please note that the trail to get to the beach will be hard and even dangerous for beginners. Impossible with kids or dogs, also you’ll need hiking shoes. If you’re good at hiking then it’s a trail with a great views and you should try it, but still note that there are pretty tough parts of the trail Download a map, there’ll be no internet. Also it’s better to use AllTrails map rather than the default route from the Organic Maps.

It’s an outstanding beach - one of the best ones in Sardinia and probably in top 0.01% of the beaches in the world. It’s so beautiful to swim around and watch the wall composed of trees, rock, sand and other naturally formed beauties. If you step on the beach you need to pay but you can just swim around for free. Anchoring on a dinghy is medium difficulty and possible even without much experience. The beach is not super crowded as large commercial boats don’t stop here. I definitely recommend this one to stop at if you rent a dinghy or are on a boat

Unlike the other beaches in the area, the people from the community of Baunei who were “working” here the day we visited were lazy and rude. One young male worker couldn’t be bothered to help out in any small way to help prevent our small dinghy from drifting into a protected area while my passengers were disembarking. He simply decided to walk away when he had enough waiting for my friends to disembark our boat. As a new, and inexperienced driver, all I needed was a little assistance and a smile which doesn’t cost any money. Instead he left a bad impression. Coworker was also disinterested in providing any assurance and was more interested in getting back under their tent. Luckily, most Sardinians are very hard-working nice and helpful.

I hiked here solo in mid-September 2025 and there is no question on how beautiful the scenery and the beach is. Absolutely stunning. That being said, the trail can be seriously dangerous and life threatening if you go unprepared. Without the below, I wouldn’t attempt it: - downloaded map from AllTrails. You will most probably get lost without the AllTrails map as the path literally disappears at specific spots. (you can only download if you have a subscription. Without downloading you can’t follow the map as you will lose reception on the trail) - proper hiking shoes with good grip If you don’t have the above, try other beaches trails which are just as beautiful or even more, like Cala Luna, Mariolou, or Goloritze. It takes nearly 1.5 hours to get to Cala Biriala from the car park in Ololbisi trekking service and 1.5 hours to come back up.

Very nice beach accessible by water. I had a great time here.

It is worth coming here with a ferry or a dinghy because this is one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever visit. The amount of people on the beach is not too overwhelming when I was there (around 11am). Would recommend taking the early boats here though.

I went on May 6, 2025. Got my reservation for the day online on Heart of Sardinia. Trek was not too long, people from all ages were on the trail. Most of the descent/ ascent is near the beach. Many people there that day but not overcrowded. Definitely have to bring your own water and food. This beach lives up to the hype, it’s amazing! Air temperature was high 70s/ low 80s, topping out at about 87 degrees with a few clouds. Clouds came in the afternoon and it rained for half an hour. I got rained on, on the way back. Water temperature was cool but many people swam in the ocean comfortably. I brought my own snorkel mask and enjoyed the variety of fish in the water.

Beautiful beach! Make sure to book online in advance. Ticket is €7. Entrance between 7:30 am and 2 pm. Proper shoes needed, trail is not easy (3,5 km ~1,5 h one way). Free parking.

Always wanted to go this beach - this year managed. Honestly it's very crowded and looks better from the boat than from the beach. The water is also "sandy" - there is beaches with more clear water! Even not far from it

Absolutely incredible, great back drop for photos from the boat, too bad you couldn’t go to the beach. Glad we went!

Absolutely breathtaking! Cala Goloritzé is one of the most stunning beaches I’ve ever seen. The crystal-clear turquoise water, dramatic limestone cliffs, and peaceful atmosphere make it feel like a hidden paradise.

Beautiful tiny beach with insane water color. Parking: Su Pordettu camper parking lot Tickets: 7 eur pp, make sure you book your slot in advance, 250 people are allowed on the beach per day. The hike (4 km down hill, 4 km uphill, 500 m elevation gain) - downhill is already quite challenging (1,5 hours), the terrain is rocky, partially in shade. Go early, trail open from 7:30. - the hike back after a few hours on the sun and in the water is tough. Do not underestimate. Make sure to bring enough water and food for the whole day, there is nothing on the beach. Be prepared for the heat! It is worth the effort!

What a great bar! My fiancé and I went here every afternoon for drinks after coming back from the beach. The wait staff were so friendly and service was very quick! Such a fun environment and drinks were well priced. Beautiful and quiet little spot watching the ocean. Highly recommend.

A very nice spot on the way to the beach. Super relax, good food, nice staff and quick service. Good menu, good variety of dishes and drinks. Perfect for couples, families, everybody. Highly recommended.

The tuna was well-seared and tasty. The service was okay. A big minus for the bathroom.

Best restaurant we've been to in Sardinia. Friendly, reasonably priced and the Sardinian style pizza to die for. The setting is charming with massive tree creating a magical feel. A must while in Santa Maria Navarrase.

Imagine having drinks or breakfast under a 300-year old olive tree by the beach. Good food reasonably priced, a unique experience. Breakfast was lovely as well. The magic of the place seems to rub on both staff and patrons. Not to be missed.

A charming Italian-style restaurant with delicious pizza, great drinks, a fantastic view, and a wonderful atmosphere surrounded by olive trees. The staff is always smiling and efficient. Highly recommended! The only downside is the cleanliness of the restroom ;(

Perfect spot. Easy and simple... you feel at home and food very good and service better. Great sea views

I DO NOT RECOMMEND! you better bring some food with you! we ordered cheese pannini and got a dry bread with only cheese! no vegetables or sauce! the staff probably doesn't know what a pannini should look like!!! I have never experienced this anywhere and it cost €6, water 1l €3.50!

This place make me pay 6 euro for a tea and a EMPTY bread, as vegan I asked just for bread, starving after 28 km of hike. And the boat old man extremely rude. There's more nice places around Sardinia and with more honest people.

Great atmosphere but, obviously,a very generic food.

Italy would be ashamed of this place. Just look at the picture. It is as good as it looks. A very bad representation of Italian quality of food. And 12€ for that... Non ho parole

Worst place in Italy! Piece of bread cut in half with a slice of cheese was called a panini. What was worse, was an attitude of the staff. Stay away, even if you know this is the only place around...

We were there for a quick lunch during a trip, they had line issues with their pos card machine line, therefore we received, three times, a withdrawal of the amount to pay for the lunch, but, instead of expressing their embarassement for the inconvenience, they were verbally attacking us, being very rude. They also stated that in case the money would have been accidentally withdrawed we shouldn't complain cause the pending expenses would have been returned soon to our bank account. This was not the case, we had to wait for 10 days on one card and even more on the other. They blamed us for the choice of using our International cards. Such line issues on beach sites are totally understandable but they should just notify this and express the necessity they have to accept just cash payments, without being rude. Also the food quality was basic compared to' the extremely elevated price of it.

This must me the worst place to eat in Sardinia. The pasta was cooked to a point that it became rubbery. The fries where definitely cooked 2-3 times and the salad; I cannot describe how was possible to have such a bad taste. I canno’t believe I travelled to Italy to have the worst pasta of my life.

Very disappointing – overpriced and poor quality I recently ate here and was really let down. The steak was supposed to be 400 grams but looked more like 250 grams. I asked for it to be cooked medium, but it came out well done and overcooked. For the high price, the quality of the food was terrible. To make things worse, we were charged for bread for four people, even though we only ate one piece. It felt like they were just trying to overcharge us. Overall, the food was not worth the money. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all.

Toma Restaurant is a seafood restaurant located in the marina of Santa Maria Navarrese, a small town on the eastern coast. It is overlooking the marina and the terrace offers a great view. I recently had the opportunity to dine at Toma Restaurant, and I was not convinced by the ordered dishes . I started my meal with the spaghetti alle vongole, which was perfectly cooked and had a generous amount of fresh clams. For my main course, I had the grilled sea bass, which was moist and flaky, and came with a delicious lemon sauce. I finished my meal with the tiramisu, which was light and creamy. The service at Toma Restaurant was nice. Our waiter was helpful to change table from the terrace to inside. Unfortunately, strong winds prevented us to sit outside and have a decent dinner. Overall, I had a medium experience at Toma Restaurant. The food was lacking punch and it gave us the feeling of many frozen products. Compared to other restaurants we have been it was not convincing.. The service was nice. . I would recommend this restaurant to people visiting Santa Maria Navarrese and want to have a beautiful view and spend a romantic evening. Here are some tips for your visit to Toma Restaurant: Book your reservation in advance, especially during peak season. Ask your waiter for their recommendations, as they know the menu well and can help you choose the best dishes. Enjoy the beautiful views of the Gulf of Orosei while you dine.

It’s always disappointing to see a place with so much potential fall short, especially in such a stunning location. The view here is one of the best I’ve seen in Sardinia, but unfortunately, the food and service were well below expectations. To start, even the most basic elements of Italian dining were missing—no olive oil, vinegar, salt, or pepper on the table. Everywhere else we’ve been, these were standard and didn’t require asking. We were then served a stale, unpleasant pineapple juice that should never have been offered to guests. It was clearly past its prime. As for the food, it was a major letdown. The quality did not match the prices at all. For €22, a seafood dish should feature fresh, high-quality ingredients. Instead, it seemed like it was made from leftovers. The shrimp, in particular, were inedible. The service, while provided by seemingly eager staff, lacked attention to detail. They would forget requests moments after leaving the table, and overall, it just felt disorganized and unprofessional. For the prices being charged, the experience should be far better. Sadly, both the food and the service were highly disappointing.

Firstly we were impressed by location and views. So we went in and was unsure if we wanted meals or just drinks so they didn’t allow us to go to the floor with the views but only lower deck. There were 4 young girls (waitresses) and we got menu and nothing else happened within ten minutes even no one else was on the deck but us. After that like it wasn’t enough being ignored someone spoiled drink on upper deck and it came right on me through the wooden floor so with just like just I had no drinks no views nothing just destroyed shirt. Thank you.

a magnificent view, excelent food and drinks, loved the ambiance and the service was very efficient profesional and also kind, something you don't see in a lot of places. and I find the quality/price correct. super!!

Food is quite good, have attached recent menus as there’s been a slight change since the previous ones were uploaded. The evening we were here it was quiet but the service was extremely slow. Incorrect drink orders came out twice. We sat down at 19:30 for2 main, 4 drinks, and 1 dessert and we eventually got the bill after asking twice and left at 21:40. This was despite 3 waitresses working the balcony.

Amazing view. Friendly and professional staff. Fantastic drinks and tasty food! A nice end to an intense day on the beach or in the mountains...

We did Via Ferrata with Antonio and Francesco. They have a lot of interesting local knowledge and the history of the land. We had the most fantastic time. Beautiful location! It took an hour drive in 4x4, around an hour approach and around 4 hours on via Ferrara. Some amazing abseils including 55 meters drop.All this with the views of the picturesque coast. We’ve ended the day with a swim in the sea! We started at 8am and finished at 6pm. I would highly recommend to anyone who is physically fit and have head for heights!

The rooms are very comfortable and had everything we needed. The restaurant was very tasty. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location is beautiful. We had a great time, thank you!

lovely place in the middle of the mountains. attention from Franceso and Delfina were great. they helped us in every way possible to make our stay at the camping 10/10. the toilets were clean all the time and showers worked perfectly. camping sites were lovey between the trees. they have a bar and restaurant that is definitely worth trying! pre order the lamb at the bbq in the afternoon for a late dinner and will not regret!

The location is great, very remote and quiet. The bungalow house was comfortable although very simple. The dinner and lunchpack were very good. The service (reception, restaurant) was superb. Thank you for making our stay so pleasent!

Fabulous remote location in the mountain and very close to the starting point for the hike to Cala Goloritze. The room was very modern and clean and we had a great balcony where we enjoyed drinks from the downstairs bar. Dinner at the restaurant was of excellent quality too. However there were a few set backs, firstly the breakfast was poor in comparison to our other stays in Sardinia (stale bread, a slice of cake and a slice of melon only), it was a bit noisy from staff making noise and slamming doors downstairs at 6am, and finally the staff were not very helpful nor particularly bothered in helping us organise any excursions advertised on their website such as climbing or abseil - perhaps as it was low season. Nonetheless, we found plenty of hikes and activities to do ourselves in Sardinia.

We had lunch here, a quiet spot in what feels like the middle of nowhere. The service was lovely and the food simple but good.

An amazing place. It's very close some great landmarks such as a stone mask carved into the stone and a Nuraghe ruin all less than a 5 minute walk from the place. Great services such as toilets. One of the few places that actually provide toilet paper in the outside toilets for campers. You can sleep in the refuge itself or camp on the outskirts for 15 euros a night per person with a tent. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The place has alot of wild life and animals just roaming around which is so beautiful. The food here was well priced and excellent as well. I will return. It's a great place to start hikes of all kinds from and the also provide a shuttle service to the sites in the area.
