Plage de Cala d'Orzu

It is renowned for its natural beauty, characterized by its fine, white sand and warm, turquoise waters. The beach is nestled between two capes, Capo di Muro and Capo Nero, with two towers overseeing these points, enhancing the scenic appeal of the area.

Alternatively, visitors can access the beach by boat, with some opting for a short walk over rocks from the south of the beach, for which suitable footwear is advised. Upon arrival, visitors can make use of free parking facilities, although the road leading to the parking area can be difficult to navigate.
