Case e Appartamenti per Vacanze a Santa Maria Navarrese

S. Maria Navarrese
The lovely beach is delimited by a pine forest and protected by an Aragonese tower from the seventeenth century. In front of the beach lie the huge pyramid-shaped rock of the “Agugliastra” and “Sa Pedra Longa” a thin calcareous pinnacle which rises out of the sea to a height of 128 m. They can be reached in just a few minutes boat trip from the little port, from where larger vessels leave for Cala Luna, Cala Sisine and Cala Goloritzè.

Ispugidenie (Cala Mariolu)

The beach of Cala Mariolu opens out onto the Golfo di Orosei, in the locality of Punta Ispuligi.
The name is connected with the monk seal, nicknamed by the fishermen "mariolu" (thief) because it took fish out of their nets.
Its waters are of a changing blue for the plays of light created by the sun reflected on the seabed, characterised by sand mixed with round, pink-coloured pebbles.
The area is full of caves, one of which opens directly onto the bay, while the Grotta del Fico (Fig Tree Cave) is found quite close by, accessible thanks to the boats which depart from the harbours of Arbatax, Cala Gonone and Santa Maria Navarrese.
The beach is characterised by shallow waters and is thus ideal for children to platy in safety.
It is always very crowded due the enchanting beauty of the natural scenery and its waters, that attract many who want to take a dip, perhaps with a mask and flippers.

Cala Goloritzé

This is one of the most beautiful small bays of the whole Mediterranean, an authentic national monument and celebrated, above all, in virtue of the turquoise of its waters, due to the gushing out of some underwater springs and to the beauty of some marble rocks, smoothed over time.
The small beach is sprinkled with small, white pebbles and what makes it all the more particular is its arc shape stretched out toward the sea, and from the imposing steeple of Punta Goloritzé, a must for all climbers. The beach of Cala Goloritzé is surmounted by a grandiose calcareous steeple, the Monte Caroddi, an absolutely essential climb for the freeclimbing fraternity. The beach has coarse white sand and pebbles. Its waters are incredibly transparent and a changing blue from the plays of light created by the sun reflected on the seabed of stones. The seashore is characterised by shallow waters that allow children to play in safety.
The landscape, already stunning for the combination of the blue of the sea and the green of the surrounding vegetation, is further enhanced by the presence of the Eleonora’s falcon, a rare species that has chosen this area in which to nest.

Spiaggia dei Gabbiani
Cala dei Gabbiani (lit. Seagull Cove) opens out onto the Golfo di Orosei, in the locality of Punta Ispuligi. Its waters are of a changing blue for the plays of light created by the sun reflected onto the seabed of stones. Candid white rocks emerge from the crystalline water creating a fascinating natural show. It is a section of the larger beach of Cala Mariolu and, like the latter, has an imposing landscape of rocky cliffs, punctuated by the green of the luxuriant vegetation typical of the zone.
The shallow waters allows children to play freely. Cala dei Gabbiani is accessible only by sea using private boats or with one of the craft that run a daily service to the beaches of the Golfo di Orosei from the harbour of Santa Maria Navarrese. You could, however, reach it overland along a difficult trekking path, advisable only to the more expert.

Cala Biriala

The beach of Cala Biriola opens out into the Golfo di Orosei beneath the wood of Biriola, rich in vegetation and junipers that grow on the vivid rock. Its waters are of a changing blue due to the plays of light created by the sun reflected on the seabed of stones, and near to the beach one can also admire an evocative natural arch carved into the rock.
The beach is characterised by shallow waters that allow the safe playing of children.
Particularly spectacular are the underwater dives or simple snorkelling to admire the rich fish fauna.
