A gateway to the sea

Details and description

Cala Lunga is a very special bay with a wonderful beach, situated on the border between the municipalities of Sant’Antioco and Calasetta. You follow a narrow path lined with reeds and Mediterranean scrub until you reach a point with a splendid view of Cala Lunga. And you will not be disappointed by this lovely bathing spot: a long inlet cuts deep into the cliff, enclosing a sandy beach dotted with tiny coral fragments.

You can enjoy a refreshing swim in the clear waters, which take on increasingly intense shades of blue as you leave the coast behind; and you can gaze at the rock formations that enclose the beach on both sides, giving a real impression of travelling down a spectacular fjord.
