Cala Sisine: the hike


Cala Sisine: where mountains meet the sea
With its 500 meters in length and 100 meters in depth, Cala Sisine is one of the widest and most striking beaches on the Baunei Coast. It sits between Punta Plummare and the DolĆ i coastline, offering a perfect blend of rugged mountains and crystal clear sea.
Formed by the rocky debris carried by the Codula di Sisine stream descending from the Golgo Plateau, the beach is surrounded by towering cliffs, ancient trees and bright white pebbles. The meeting of the mountain landscape and the turquoise water creates a truly unique setting in Sardinia.
Just a few steps from the beach, the restaurant āSu Coileā offers the perfect spot to enjoy a refreshing break with local dishes after a day by the sea or a hike.
