Cala Liberotto: Bay and Coastal Paths

Coastal scenery around Cala Liberotto

Cala Liberotto Beach lies in the Gulf of Orosei on the central-eastern coast of Sardinia. The emerald-green bay is framed by pale rocks, while coarse, golden sand characterises the shore. Behind Cala Liberotto lies the Stagno di Sos Alinos, bordered by reeds and agaves. The bay and the pond offer contrasting scenery: rocks and sand along the coast, reeds and agaves by the water. For those choosing a destination based on its scenery, Cala Liberotto is therefore characterised by more than just its beach.

Getting around on foot and by bike

Thanks to its distinctive shape, Cala Liberotto has a network of interconnected paths that can be explored on foot. A walk follows a beach lined with dense pine forest for several hundred metres, as far as the promontory that separates Cala Liberotto from Cala Ginepro. The coastal paths also take you to the small beaches of Sas Linnas Siccas. There are therefore two different options for choosing a route: follow the beach to the promontory or head for the small beaches. The promontory is also the point where the walk described above separates Cala Liberotto from Cala Ginepro.

The official Siniscola–Dorgali coastal route passes through Cala Liberotto. If your cycling plans depend on purpose-built infrastructure, check in advance on the route’s implementation status. In summer, Cala Liberotto is also a destination for spearfishing enthusiasts. This adds two distinct questions to your planning: whether the route has the infrastructure you need, and whether your travel dates coincide with the summer spearfishing season.

The Oasi di Biderosa and its access rules

The Oasi di Biderosa, near Cala Liberotto, includes five bays within a 860-hectare protected park. Due to its high ecological value, access is limited by a quota to protect the bays, pine forests and paths. Quotas apply to cars and motorcycles from May to the end of October; there is no seasonal limit for access by bicycle or on foot. The rules in force must be followed in all cases. The seasonal period therefore applies to access by car and motorcycle, not to a seasonal ban on visits on foot or by bicycle. Check the access rules before visiting, especially if you are travelling by car or motorcycle. The Oasi therefore requires its own access planning, in addition to the coastal paths of Cala Liberotto.
