Cala Mariolu, Bay in Gulf of Orosei, Sardinia, Italy
The beach features white and pink pebbles alongside emerald waters, surrounded by limestone cliffs reaching heights of 500 meters above sea level.
The local fishermen named the cove after Mediterranean monk seals that regularly took fish from their nets in past centuries.
The beach earned its local name 'is puligi de nie' from Sardinian residents due to its small white pebbles resembling snowflakes on the shore.
Visitors can reach the beach through boat services from Cala Gonone, Arbatax, and Santa Maria Navarrese, or by following a 6-kilometer hiking trail.
A natural rock formation called Sa Perda e su Saltatori serves as an entry point to the cove and extends into clear waters.
