Cala Goloritzè, Baunei

We decided to get to the beach of Cala Goloritze walk with my little girl of 10 years. Left drive from Santa Maria Navarrese, at 6.00 am on 18/08/2017 arrived On Porteddu, trailhead, at approximately 6.30. Parked the car (free parking near the Bar) we walked the trail well marked. I would recommend to be On Porteddu already at 6.00 (at 5.30 would be ideal) to enjoy the colours and rumorii. The cost to get to the beach is €6 for adults and €3 for children: absolutely reasonable cost because finances who strives daily to maintain the site. The Office at the beginning of the path opens at 7.30 but staff will come to the beach at 8 to pay for the ticket. We passed many wild goats along the way; interesting the couches of the shepherds that you may encounter along the trail. After about 75 minutes we were at the beach; one word: "spectacular", one of the most beautiful beaches in Italy and a sea with the presence of many fish that'll tickle your legs. Even more impressive to be there in the early morning when the beach is deserted and are not yet on the rafts and boats that are the views of the coves that are beginning to arrive in the area by 9 am. The ideal time is from 16.30 back on, when the Sun begins to set and the path remains in the shade. The climb is much harder but still sustainable even for the less experienced, suitably equipped. Absolutely necessary the sneakers or better, bring many bottles of water (there is possibility to buy them during the journey or at the Cove), optional but useful shoes to go on the rocks. The umbrella as the first Cove you meet there is the shadow of the rock face. Experience a living for those who are in the area and loves nature.

We went hiking with friends in 2012 and by boat this year. Clear water and spectacular Cove.
