Cala Serraina Beach - Costa Paradiso - Trinità d'Agultu

Cala Sarraina Beach is located in the municipality of Trinità d'Agultu and Vignola, along the northern coast of Sardinia that connects Santa Teresa di Gallura to Castelsardo. The cove is nestled within the Costa Rossa, in an area designated as a Site of Community Importance (SCI). The beach, nestled within a natural amphitheater, consists of fine sand with pinkish hues resulting from the erosion of the surrounding granite cliffs. The sea has crystal-clear waters with a predominantly shallow, sandy seabed near the shore, teeming with fish and ideal for snorkeling and scuba diving. The bay faces west and is known for its panoramic view at sunset. ℹ️ Services: The beach features a public section and designated areas. It features a parking lot right next to the beach, a kiosk-bar, restrooms, and rentals of beach umbrellas, lounge chairs, and pedal boats. There is a restaurant in the immediate vicinity. The beach sees a moderate number of visitors and is ideal for those seeking secluded natural settings. 🚗 How to get there: From Santa Teresa Gallura, take the SP90 toward Castelsardo. Between km 36 and km 39, you'll come to the signposted turnoff for Cala Sarraina. From here, turn and follow the paved road to the open area used as a parking lot. Alternatively, the town can be reached from the hamlet of Lu Colbu via a scenic secondary road. 💡 Fun fact: • Coastal trails: Walking paths branch off from the main beach and wind along the cliffs. To the west, the trail leads to a few small, secluded coves, while to the east it runs along a stretch of entirely rocky coastline. • Mount Tinnari and Cala Tinnari: A hiking trail through the inland area leads to the summit of Mount Tinnari (214 meters), a scenic viewpoint offering views as far as Asinara and Corsica. At the foot of the hill lies Cala Tinnari, a secluded cove formed by red and gray trachyte pebbles, accessible by sea or via a challenging dirt trail.
