Sightseeing
This gulf is our favorite place in Sardinia. Rent a boat in Cala Gonone. Best beaches where to stop: Cala Goloritze, Cala Luna, Cala Mariolu, Cala Sisine. If you are tired of the sun, visit the Griotta del Bue Marino (It was the last island refuge of the rare monk seal (‘bue marino’ or ‘sea ox’ as it was known by local fishers). The watery gallery is impressive, with shimmering light playing on the strange shapes and Neolithic petroglyphs within the cave. Guided visits take place up to seven times a day. In peak season you may need to book)

Our second favorite place to go to with a boat. This is a MUST. You can go to La Maddalena by ferry and then rent a rubber boat to go around the archipelago.
