Cala Gonone, frazione of Dorgali
Cala Gonone is a coastal village in the municipality of Dorgali on Sardinia's eastern shore. It sits along a small bay with a sandy beach backed by limestone cliffs that rise directly from the waterline.
The village grew from a small fishing port in the 20th century into a tourist destination. Its sheltered bay and proximity to nearby caves made it an appealing spot for visitors seeking access to coastal attractions.
The village is reachable by road from inland, with a route that winds down from the surrounding hills. A small boat harbor provides access to the surrounding cliffs, caves, and neighboring stretches of coastline.
Its position near several sea caves, including Grotta del Bue Marino, made the village a hub for boat excursions to explore them. These caves are accessible only by water, giving visitors a reason to venture beyond the beach.
