Cala Goloritze

UNESCO monument. 143m pinnacle, natural arch. 1.5h hike or boat. Zero facilities. Perfection.

Cala Sisine

Canyon mouth beach. Wider, less crowded than Cala Luna. Trail leads into Supramonte wilderness.

Cala Biriola

The secret one. Small, rocky. Most tours skip it. Ask the captain to stop.

Cala Fuili
