Cala Mariolu – A Symphony of Sparkling Azure Waters and Limestone Rocks
Cala Mariolu is one of the most precious beaches the eastern coast of the beautiful island of Sardinia has to offer.
This gem is located just north of Cala Goloritze, and is decorated with little pebbles made round and smooth by the eternal movement of the waters.
Reachable only by boat or by a demanding three-hour trek from the Altopiano del Golgo, Cala Mariolu is arguably one of the most sublime spots on the coast. Split in two by a cluster of bright limestone rocks, it has virtually no sand but smooth white pebbles.
This creek is completely surrounded by greenery; it’s the typical, dense, fragrant, and very green Mediterranean shrub. On the high dominating rocks, various species of sea birds nest, among them sea gulls, peregrine falcons, golden eagles, Bonelli’s eagles, Eleonara’s falcons, and even some specimen of white-backed vultures.
