Cala Luna is one of Sardinia's most iconic beaches, famous for its crescent-shaped shoreline framed by dramatic cave openings carved into white limestone cliffs. The beach sits at the mouth of the Codula di Luna canyon, creating a natural amphitheatre of wild Mediterranean beauty. The shallow turquoise water is perfect for swimming and the caves provide spectacular natural shade.
Accessible by boat from Cala Gonone or via a challenging 3-hour coastal hike, Cala Luna rewards visitors with a genuine sense of discovery. Oleander bushes bloom pink along the canyon in spring, adding colour to the already spectacular landscape.
