The beach is surrounded by the wild rocky coast of Ogliastra which also reaches 500 meters high overlooking the crystalline sea. An earthly paradise accessible by land only through a challenging trekking route immersed in the dense Mediterranean scrub, where you will walk on white limestone, rocks and paths with an important slope and you will encounter fascinating natural sculptures such as the Su Tasaru arch. But the effort and your desire for adventure will be well rewarded by unspoiled nature, postcard views and a well-deserved dive into the waters of dream.
