Visited the beach on Aug 6 2019 with my wife and 2 small kids. Pros: (1) the hike down to the beach provides ample opportunity for truly beautiful pictures of the beach and sea from above; (2) the water temperature was not "Gulf of Mexico in Aug" hot surprisingly for the 90+F day but it was fine, the water depth drops off quickly from the beach making it cooler too but again pleasant for a hot day; (3) really the best beach that is close to Cala Gonone in my opinion. Cons: (1) parking depending on the spot you end up at can be a hike with kids but easy for an adult; (2) beach space closer to the sea can be limited; (3) no public bathrooms easily in walking distance Tips: (1) good to have water shoes for walking around the pebble beach; (2) get there early and stake out a spot and enjoy the...

It’s is possible to fix your umbrella...
Read moreOriginal review from 2018: Great beach, one hour drive from Orosei, it is possible to hike to Cala Luna which takes 2 hours, but not the easiest hike and you will need quite some water to have with you. The beach is not crowded after 4pm, don't know about other time. One of the best distance/quality ratio beach if you go from Orosei. As a bonus you might meet a goat when you go downstairs from the road to the beach. Be careful because they may accidentally throw some stones at you :)
Update from 2025: still a great beach, the best ROI by car if you live in Cala Gonone or Dorgali. It got more popular and crowded now but still manageable to find a spot if you go early or late in the day. Be careful with the parking as you may get a fine if you...
