Golfo di Orosei

in

Golfo di Orosei is a broad bay on Sardinia’s eastern coast, bordered by high limestone mountains and deeply cut ravines. Several beaches are reached mainly by boat or demanding footpaths, while small towns at the northern and southern ends provide access. Caves and rock arches punctuate the shoreline, with coast and beaches providing the wider context. Caves occupies a different part of the destination from beaches, giving the wider area a clear physical structure.

Boat trips reveal the coast most easily, though hiking offers a more physical understanding of the terrain. Summer coves can become crowded during midday, with beaches and caves providing the wider context. Early departures, longer walks and quieter shoulder seasons provide a more rewarding view of the landscape. Boat travel and elevated viewpoints reveal very different aspects of the same coastal landscape.
