Cala dei Gabbiani is one of the wildest and most unspoilt beaches in the Gulf of Orosei, located in the municipality of Baunei. In 2017, it was voted the second most beautiful beach in Italy.
The beach hides at the foot of imposing limestone cliffs, with a shoreline of white and pink pebbles bathed by crystal-clear waters in shades of emerald green and turquoise. The absence of facilities and difficult access make it a true paradise for those seeking nature at its purest.
Cala dei Gabbiani: A Secluded Bay
What makes this beach so special is its remoteness. Even in the height of August, you may find yourself sharing it with only a handful of other visitors. The sense of wilderness is extraordinary — nothing but cliffs, sea and sky.
How to get there
Cala dei Gabbiani is accessible exclusively by sea, departing from the harbour of Cala Gonone by rental dinghy or guided excursion. The sailing time is approximately 50 minutes along the Gulf of Orosei coastline, passing Cala Luna, Cala Sisine, and the spectacular cliffs.
Reach It by Boat
The water is extraordinarily clear, perfect for snorkelling. The seabed is rich in marine life and the cliffs offer breathtaking viewpoints. There are no facilities: bring water, food, and everything you need. The beach is uncrowded even in high season, guaranteeing an experience of solitude and connection with nature.
Visit Cala dei Gabbiani with a self-drive dinghy or as part of a guided boat excursion.
