Cala Osalla

Cala Osalla is a long, quietly beautiful bay near Dorgali, backed by the small Laguna di Osalla and reachable by car on a paved road — no boat required. The water is crystal clear but drops off quickly, so it's better suited to confident swimmers than little ones. One of the rare spots on this stretch of coast where dogs are welcome, and it stays surprisingly uncrowded even in summer.
