Description

Cala Goloritze is a very famous beach on the Italian Island of Sardinia. It is famous for being beautiful, secluded and the 143 m high Aguglia de Goloritze right on the water. There are numerous other climbs from single pitch to longer more involved climbs, but the real treat and most peoples goal is one of the routes on the Aguglia.

Routes are east, north, and west facing and depending on season and time of day the beach can very secluded or extremely crowded. The limestone is fantastic, featured and can be sharp.
