Cala di Santa Caterina, Beach inlet in Cuglieri, Italy

Small sandy bay surrounded by granite rocks features clear waters and a gradual slope into the Mediterranean Sea at the western coast of Sardinia.

The beach takes its name from an ancient chapel dedicated to Saint Catherine, built by local fishermen in the nearby area during the 16th century.

Local fishing boats still anchor in the sheltered cove, maintaining the traditional Mediterranean fishing practices that have sustained the community for generations.

The beach offers natural shade from surrounding rocks and can be accessed through a marked path from the main road connecting Cuglieri to Santa Caterina.

The limestone formations along the shoreline create natural pools during low tide, forming protected areas for marine life observation.
