Cala dei Gabbiani — Beaches | Guida Ogliastra I Mandorli
Cala dei Gabbiani
Separated from Mariolu by a single rock spur, Cala dei Gabbiani offers the same impossible water with half the people: the choice of those who know the Baunei coast.
Details and how to get there
## The discreet sister Same white and pink pebbles, same cliffs, same aquarium seabed: Gabbiani only lacks the fame — its greatest asset.
Boat crews often propose it when Mariolu hits its daily cap: accept without hesitation.
## What to expect The beach is longer and narrower than Mariolu, with shady corners under the wall in the morning.
Snorkelling towards the spur dividing it from Mariolu is best: curious groupers, schools of bream, and the blue dropping vertically offshore.
## Our tips - Ask the cooperative for the Gabbiani landing when booking. - Bring a light umbrella: natural shade disappears after 11am. - Combine it with the Piscine di Venere, two boat minutes away.
