Spiaggia di Cala Caterina

Spiaggia di Cala Caterina is a sand beach in Sardinia featuring white sand bordered by granite rocks on one side and cliffs on the other. The water displays shades ranging from emerald green to deep blue.

This location has been a part of Sardinia's coastal landscape for generations and was designated as a protected area to preserve its natural features. The designation reflects long-standing recognition of its ecological value.

This beach is part of a protected coastal area where visitors carry out their own waste to preserve the natural environment. The practice reflects a strong commitment to protecting this part of the shoreline.

Access to this beach requires a hiking trail of roughly 1.5 kilometers from the parking area, with elevation changes along the path. Wear sturdy shoes and bring water, as the trail is exposed with little shade.

Erosion of granite formations has created distinctive pinkish sand along the water's edge that contrasts with the white sand of the beach. Mediterranean plants grow on the surrounding rocks, adding to the varied appearance of this coastal area.
