About this experience
Discover with us the beautiful coast of Baunei and its paradisiacal beaches.
We offer a dinghy rental service and organized tours with skipper ideal for visiting the magical coast of Baunei.
A unique dichotomy that of our coast, in which the different landscapes are contrasted in a rhythmic and harmonious game. This is how white cliffs follow one another in continuous twists, the streams that have carved the plateau have given life to the so-called "codule", deep gorges set in the white limestone rock. Rich in evergreen juniper, the gorges flow into the sea creating small beaches of incredible beauty, bathed by crystal clear waters.
