Cala Goloritzé lies on the coast of Baunei, in the Ogliastra region, within the Supramonte above the Gulf of Orosei. It is a remote beach of white sand and pebbles, set beneath a tall limestone pinnacle and marked by a natural rock arch that reaches into the sea, with steep, macchia-covered slopes rising behind it.
Since boats are not permitted to anchor near the shore, the beach is reached mainly on foot, via a path descending from the Golgo plateau through the Baccu Goloritzé valley, a walk of roughly ninety minutes each way. Declared a natural monument in 1993, it has long drawn climbers as well as walkers, and access today is limited to a set number of visitors per day.
A short distance north, a smaller cove known for freshwater springs seeping through the rocks offers a quieter corner away from the main beach. Cala Goloritzé remains one of the defining sights of the Baunei coastline, valued for the combination of sea and mountain scenery found in few other parts of Sardinia.
