Cala Biriola is a small and charming cove located along the coast of Baunei, in the heart of the Gulf of Orosei. Protected by high limestone walls and surrounded by thick Mediterranean scrub of centuries-old holm oaks and junipers, it is one of the most hidden gems of eastern Sardinia.
The beach consists of smooth white pebbles, polished by the sea over millennia. The waters are an intense azure blue with such transparency that the seabed is visible even at several metres depth. The area is ideal for snorkeling and diving.
How to get there
Cala Biriola is reachable by sea from the port of Cala Gonone in approximately 40 minutes of sailing. There is also a challenging trekking trail that descends from the provincial road, but the sea route remains the most convenient and spectacular option.
What to expect
A corner of paradise where the holm oak forest reaches right to the sea, creating natural shade on the beach. The contrast between the white pebbles, green vegetation, and azure sea is unforgettable. No facilities available: complete self-sufficiency required.
