La meravigliosa duna di sabbia e ciottoli unisce la parete dei
grottoni al maestoso roccione di Su Masongiu, spettacolare
oltre oltre che per l' altezza, per i blocchi di roccia squadrati
che precipitano in mare, hanno formato la Punta Lastroni.
Appena dietro la duna di sabbia, un fitto bosco di oleandri si
colora di rosa nei mesi estivi.

A cruise around the gulf
Not far away from those caves one finds a small sand beach called Ziu Santoru. It is not full of sand every year after the rough winter sea, but if it is possible to reach it , it is very interesting to visit the hanging cave which faces the sea. Just after half a mile, cala Luna can be reached, here the limestone walls exhibit six huge caverns open at the beach level. The existing sand beach has been created by the stream. The beautiful sand and pebbles beach connect the caverns walls with the majestic Su Masongiu mountain. It is spectacular because of its height and it’s square rock blocks, called Punta lastroni, which lead all the way down to the sea. Just after the beach thick oleander bushes become beautifully pink during summer months. The stream, which used to make a lake behind the beach, ran until 1996. Very rough sea lost some meters of length. However, large fresh water puddles can be seen when one climbs the canyon. Once Punta Lastroni is behind, the rock wall slopes reach steeply to the sea. Right after, one can find the beach called Cala Sisine. The tall and open walls on the beach make one think of mountain scenarios, especially because of the forest on the walls of the George , full of century old carob and holm oak trees, contrary to cala Luna, the water stream here does not reach the ground except for winter floods. All the following beaches were made by land-slips or rock sweepings, which have been in touch with the sea water though the centuries to form dunes of very small pebbles , giving the bottom of the sea beautiful blue and green colors. Cala Biriola beach has a natural rock arch and huge forest. During the last century, it was exploited for its wood and coal for exportation . The paths used by coal-heavers are still preserved in the vegetation. On the reefs one can still find the railway tracks to transport and load the coal onto the ships. Cala Mariolu beach is divided into two different sides by a rock promontory surrounded by limpid blue water colors. Not far way , cala dei Gabiani surrounds incredible transparent sea waters , which are full of small white reefs. Goloritzè beach has a magnificent rock tower , a real 140 m , tall totem for climbers ,who can get the most exclusive panorama of gulf from there. Leaving behind the big rock arch which is beside the beach , one can reach the end of capo Monte Santu. From there one can admire Leonora’s’ falcons (falchi della regina), which nest on those vertical rock walls. The cruise is over once the last two bays have been visited. There, one finds two small fjords which lead to the mountains and offer protection against the northern winds (tramontana).
