Cala Goloritzè is a small, wild bay with a white pebble beach belonging to the municipality of Baunei , located at the southern end of the Gulf of Orosei , north of Cape Monte Santo, in the province of Nuoro .
Description and history
The bay or beach, one of the most impressive in Sardinia , was created in 1962 by a landslide. It is particularly known for the 100 m high rock needle L'Aguglia made of limestone - also called Punta Caroddi - a natural monument that rises 43 meters above the beach, and the natural rock gate L'Arco di Goloritzè , which closes the bay to the south . In the 1980s, the cove was first by climbers as Maurizio Zanolla and Alessandro Gogna, the Punta Caroddi 1981 as first climbed by Freeclimbern become known. In 1993 a 13.24 hectare nature reserve was set up around the bay, and in 1995 Cala Goloritzè was an Italian national monument. Since the summer of 2007, access from the sea has been completely closed to ships and motor boats in a 200 m zone in order to limit the influx of tourists.
Fresh spring water leaks from a crevice on the beach and pours into the sea.
