San Giovanni di Posada is a hamlet of Posada, protected by an Aragonese tower overlooking the bay. In the San Giovanni pond, a natural extension of the Posada River, flamingos and herons have been nesting for several years.
San Giovanni di Posada borders La Caletta di Siniscola. La Caletta beach, surrounded by a magnificent pine forest traversed by the Posada pond, is very popular with water sports enthusiasts (kitesurfing, windsurfing). The central part of the beach is called Sa Preta Ruia (“the red stone”) due to the reddish color of the surrounding hills. Continuing along the coastal road, one is captivated by a breathtaking panorama that stretches for miles of pine forest and passes through the small fishing village of Santa Lucia, also protected by a tower standing guard over the bay.
Along the pine forest, a series of small beaches known as dei Confetti follow one another, where the “confetti” are nothing more than small pebbles tirelessly shaped by the force of the sea. Continuing further, you reach the village of Sena e sa Chitta and Capo Comino beach.
The beach of Capo Comino is distinguished by its white sand dunes, 15 to 20 meters high, which create a lunar landscape and stretch for several kilometers inland, blending with valleys covered in green meadows. It is an extraordinary landscape, rich in centuries-old junipers that protect one of the most evocative panoramas on the entire coast. The dunes are interrupted near the still-active Capo Comino lighthouse, where a stretch of coast rich in red rocks and natural pools begins.
Continuing along the coast, through the Berchida forest reserve, you reach the beach of the same name with its immense expanses of dazzling white sand.
Berchida is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and fascinating beaches in Sardinia, an incomparable coastline that amazes with the tranquility and beauty that nature has offered and that human preservation efforts continue to protect.
The Dorgali coast, a natural extension of the Gulf of Orosei, is a gift from nature. The mountains plunge into the sea, creating landscapes of incomparable beauty. The spectacle that unfolds as soon as you pass through the tunnel connecting Dorgali to the town of Cala Gonone through the mountains is magnificent.
Cala Gonone, a charming hamlet of Dorgali, boasts a perfectly equipped marina, from which organized cruises regularly depart to various coves accessible exclusively by sea.
Heading south along the Cala Gonone coastal road, after about three kilometers, you reach the beach of rocks and white pebbles called Ziu Martine. Continuing further, you arrive at the end of the paved road overlooking Cala Fuili beach, the last beach south of the village accessible by car.
Continuing on foot, following a hiking trail, you can reach the very famous Cala Luna. Here, the limestone cliff is pierced by six immense caves that open directly onto the beach. The magnificent dune of sand and pebbles connects the cave wall to the imposing Su Masongiu rock.
Departing by boat from the small port of Cala Gonone, the first stop is undoubtedly the Bue Marino caves, which get their name from the Sardinian term for the monk seal, this friendly and rare mammal that once lived there. Inside, one can admire remarkable stalagmites and stalactites in multiple shades which, thanks to the play of light, amaze with the changing colors they take on from moment to moment, further enhanced by the clarity of the waters of the splendid saltwater lake.
