Let's start our article on the most beautiful beaches in Sardinia between the grandiose cliffs overlooking the sea and the blue-lapped rocks of Cala Mariolu. The name of this tropical charm paradise derives from the presence of the monk seal, which, it is said, "stole" the catch from the nets of fishermen coming from Ponza, therefore it was called il mariolo (thief). One of the pearls of the Gulf of Orosei, this one, accessible from the ground only through a challenging trek in the middle of the dense Mediterranean scrub and characterized by the shallow bottom of white pebbles and pink sand at times (this is why it was baptized " is pùligi de nie", ie "the snow fleas"), one of the most beautiful beaches in Italy where you can spend unforgettable moments!
