Hike to Cala Goloritzé

Hiking

This Tour crosses the Bacu Goloritzé, a crowded gorge during the summer. The trail is well-trodden and easy to follow. However, consider the elevation gain on the way back. Since there are no springs along the route, it is essential to bring an adequate amount of water, especially in the summer months.

Access to the beach is regulated by the municipality of Baunei and requires a ticket, which can be purchased at the start of the path.

Starting from Su Porteddu, go through the gate and, past the ticket office, take the clearly visible path. The track climbs up to pass a saddle at 470 metres, from which you can already enjoy a splendid view of the sea of Cala Goloritzé.

The path then begins to descend with a constant difference in altitude. You will find some smaller branches, among which there are links to the famous Selvaggio Blu hiking route. Crossing an impressive natural arch, you pass near the rocky pinnacle of Aguglia di Goloritzé, a popular climbing destination throughout Europe. After this spectacular natural monument, a few steep meters separate you from the wonderful Cala Goloritzé.

The return follows the same path, but it is important to remember that you will have to face 450 meters of altitude difference uphill.

View of Cala Goloritzé

Highlight • Viewpoint

This point offers a beautiful view of the sea and the bay. This wonderful cove must be earned, however. Bring enough water and be prepared for limited shade along the way. Climbing under the sun can be a real challenge.

But despite all the difficulties, your efforts will be rewarded with fascinating views of the sparkling sea and the idyllic bay opening up among the dense vegetation. These moments, when the blue of the water shines through the trees, will make every drop of sweat worth it. From here it is also possible to reach Cala Goloritzé simply by following the path.

View of Aguglia di Goloritzé

Highlight • Natural Monument

The imposing Aguglia tower rises free above Cala Goloritzé, one of the most beautiful bays in Sardinia. Its limestone walls, similar to those in the Verdon, allow for unrivaled technical slab climbing in a fantastic setting.

Cala Goloritzé

Highlight • Beach

Cala Goloritzé is one of the most fascinating beaches in Sardinia. Born from a landslide in 1962, it is renowned for its imposing Aguglia, which rises 143 meters above the bay. Another unique feature is the natural arch that opens on the right side of the beach.

Goloritzé can be reached by boat or via a path with a negative altitude difference of around 500 metres. Declared a natural monument of Sardinia in 1993, it was subsequently named a national monument in 1995.

Natural Arch on the Cala Goloritzé Trail

Highlight • Natural Monument

Walking along the Cala Goloritzé path you come across this natural arch, which embellishes an already beautiful path. It's great to admire the nature on the other side before crossing.

April 23, 2025,Spaziergang zum Strand von Cala Goloritzé
They say this is the most beautiful beach in Sardinia. I found it beautiful... like so many beaches here. White sand, blue sea, and sunshine. What more could you want? The approach with the camper was very steep. The walk down from 470 meters to 0 is easily doable in an hour. Many climbers ventured up the promontory. 🙏🙏🙏

Great, but somewhat strenuous hike to the dream beach. Make sure you take plenty of water and food with you, there is nothing

Today, after about 70 meters of altitude, we went down to a really beautiful beach for swimming. Then we went back again, which was challenging. About 25 years ago I somehow got there differently. In any case, I didn't have to pay a 6 euro travel fee for the sweaty affair back then

Let's go from Golgo (Baunei). Parking is free. From 7:30 a.m., get your ticket at the counter or reserve it online. €6 per person. Number of guests are limited! Drink a delicious espresso at the Golgo Bar beforehand and the adventure can begin. The view alone is worth the money. Arrived at the bottom of Cala Goloritze beach, it is …

My most challenging tour in many years. The scenery is stunning, and so is the sea. And again, many meters of elevation gain in rugged terrain in 36-degree heat. I booked preseason. It's usually 25 degrees here in early June. That's it for Sardinia. I've now moved to Brandenburg, no longer in temperatures above 30 degrees.

It is best to reserve in advance! Limited ti
Ticks!
Take enough food with you and don't pick the hottest weather. Otherwise very nice and recommended! The way back is very exhausting :-)

The most beautiful beach in the world ‼️‼️
... so expectations were pretty high
😂😂


Since Cala Goloritzé won the "#1 in the world" award in 2025, the entrance fee is obviously easy to market 😆.
Getting a ticket for the beach is harder than booking a ticket for a top act at Eventim.
Sales start three days in advance …

Yes, it's a dream - the rock needle and the bathing bay. But the path is rocky and hot. Many parts of the path would be covered with coarse gravel - this makes the affected passages bumpier. But in any case a must - at high temperatures it is advisable to avoid the midday heat. And be careful: in the …

This hike was quite strenuous due to temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius. Nevertheless, the extraordinary natural surroundings there were an absolute experience.
