Cala dei Gabbiani

Cala dei Gabbiani is one of those places that earns its reputation — a remote, strikingly beautiful bay along the Costa di Baunei accessible only by sea, which keeps it refreshingly unspoiled. You'll find a smooth white pebble shoreline meeting some of the clearest water on the Sardinian coast, with the dramatic limestone cliffs of Ogliastra rising around it. It's often included on day trips that also stop at the Isolotto d'Ogliastra sea stack nearby, so the surrounding scenery is just as rewarding as the bay itself.
