Cala Cartoe

A white-sand bay about 8 km north of Cala Gonone that can be reached by car, backed by pine forest and green valleys, with shallow water suitable for a relaxed family day.

Cala Cartoè lies about 8 km north of Cala Gonone. It is one of the few bays on the northern stretch of the Gulf of Orosei that can be reached by car. It has fine white sand and small pebbles, and the water shades from shallow to deep blue-green. Behind it are valleys covered in juniper and pine, and in summer there is a beach bar and a paid car park. Small waves and shallow water make it suitable for families with children. It often appears in Italian films, and the night sky here is beautiful. From Cala Gonone or Dorgali, it is about 20 minutes by car along the mountain road.
