Itineray
From Dorgali take the SS 125 towards Orosei. After about 5 km turn right at the junction to the grotta di Ispinigoli (Cave of Ispinigoli). Continue straight for about 4 km until you reach a fork located in the locality of Tinnipereddu near a farm inn. Here, leave the road to Cala Osalla on your left side and drive on. After about 1 km, turn left. Continue straight for another 3 km along the asphalted road that then joins a dirt track leading to the beach.
As an alternative, from the harbour of Cala Gonone take via Marco Polo. After a number of hairpin bends, you will reach a road that runs from Dorgali. Turn right and carry on until you reach a fork. Take a right, leaving the road that leads to Tinnipereddu on your left side. From there continue driving until you reach the beach.
Description
This beach is characterized by coarse golden sand, and is lapped by a crystal clear sea. Quite deep waters and a sea-bottom made up of sand and rocks attract scuba diving enthusiasts. Cala Cartoe is set between two promontories covered with Mediterranean maquis that protect it from the winds. It is a paradise that should not be missed. A distinctive feature of this place is the chromatic contrast between the northern promontory of black basaltic rock and the southern one made up of white granite. From the latter starts a stretch of granite coastline that extends south for several kilometres. The beach has been used as the setting for a number of films.
Kiosk, restaurant, wheelchair access, car park.
