Calasetta: Sea and Beaches

The coast line around the friendly fishing village of Calasetta with its picturesque harbour offers a choice of white sandy beaches and untouched rock formations embedded in the breathtaking scenery of the surrounding landscape. In the immediate vicinity on the north eastern side of the hotel  you’ll find the largest and most beautiful beach of the island, the ‘Spiaggia Grande’.

Moving further east towards Calasetta you come across the ‘Le Saline’ beach, with directly behind it the marshlands, famous for the many rare species of birds that nest here. Directly attached to the village is the ‘Sotto Torre ‘ beach. Following the coast line southwards here the magnificent rock formations known as the ‘ Nido dei Passeri’ , the ‘ Sparrows’ Nest ‘ are a perfect spot to enjoy the view of the neighbour island San Pietro or to take a dive in the crystal clear sea. Further down the coast the Cala Lunga bay, where the sea water has a particular fluorescent green blue quality,  protected by the green surrounding hills the Maestrale wind, offers a quiet refuge for a day of sunbathing and swimming.
