Cala Fenile

✨ Hidden gem

Cala Fenile is a secluded bay along the dramatic Baunei coastline in Ogliastra, reachable by a moderately challenging hike of around 3 miles from the Pedra Longa sea stack — expect about 2 hours on foot with some steep scrambling down to the water. The setting is classic Ogliastra: towering limestone cliffs dropping straight into clear turquoise water, making it a favourite spot for snorkeling. The relatively flat trail approach makes it accessible, but the final descent to the beach demands sure footing.
