What to see in the Orosei gulf, a magnificent inlet located along the east coast of Sardinia that takes its name from the town of the same name.
Tourist information
The Gulf of Orosei, located along the east coast of Sardinia, takes its name from Orosei, a small town in the province of Nuoro not far from the coast and falling within the valley of the Cedrino river.
The Gulf is divided into two parts distinct from each other by a different morphology.
The northern part, almost at sea level, is made up of pine forests and long sandy beaches with dunes up to Punta Nera, while the southern part is made up of the final part of the Supramonte plateau which extends to the Cape of Monte Santu. .
For over 40 km this stretch of coast of Sardinia is characterized by imposing limestone bastions very high and covered by centuries-old woods characterized by the lush plants that characterize the Mediterranean scrub.
What see
There are also characteristic sandy beaches surrounded by limestone cliffs overlooking the sea, including deep caves carved by rivers once present but now disappeared.
With the aim of preserving the nature of this uncontaminated territory characterized by the presence of numerous animal and plant species, the Gulf of Orosei and Gennargentu National Park was established in the late 1990s.
The village of Cala Gonone also overlooks the Gulf of Orosei where a boat service is available to discover the bays set among the limestone bastions, the beaches and the caves of the Bue Marino.
