The beach is the terminus of the Codula di Sisine, a 15-kilometer-long canyon system.
The seabed consists of rounded white limestone pebbles shaped by water erosion over millennia.
The cove historically served as a shelter for fishermen and coal burners.
The water depth increases rapidly within a few meters of the shoreline.
The beach is part of the protected Gulf of Orosei and Gennargentu National Park territory.
Cala Sisine is a remote pebble beach located on the Gulf of Orosei within the Baunei municipality. The cove is situated at the mouth of the Codula di Sisine, a deep canyon carved by seasonal torrents through limestone cliffs. The beach is composed of white, polished limestone pebbles rather than sand. It is accessible primarily by boat from Santa Maria Navarrese or Cala Gonone, or via a strenuous multi-hour hiking trail. High limestone cliffs surround the cove, providing natural shade during specific parts of the afternoon. The beach features a steep seabed, resulting in deep, clear turquoise water near the shore. There is a small seasonal refreshment kiosk located near the back of the beach area. The surrounding landscape is characterized by Mediterranean macchia vegetation and ancient holm oaks.
The elevated path leading down into the canyon provides a clear panoramic view of the beach meeting the sea.
Bring water shoes, as the large, smooth pebbles are difficult to traverse barefoot.
Carry sufficient drinking water, as facilities on the beach are seasonal and limited.
If hiking, start very early in the morning to avoid high temperatures and ensure you reach the coast before noon.
Attempting the hike in the middle of the day without significant water supplies or adequate physical conditioning.
Accessible by passenger ferry services only during the spring and summer months.
Take all trash with you; removal of pebbles from the beach is strictly prohibited and carries heavy fines.
