Scale the Aguglia di Goloritzè, a slim limestone needle that rises above Cala di Goloritzè. This guided multipitch climb pairs a coastal approach hike with 120–150 m of technical limestone climbing and a refreshing sea swim on return.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You arrive above a narrow cove where limestone walls drop straight to green water and a slim spike of rock thrusts skyward—the Aguglia di Goloritzè daring you to climb. The day begins with a walk from the Golgo plateau down to the small Cala di Goloritzè beach, the trail narrowing over shale and exposed steps until the monolith appears, sun-glinting and sharp against the sea.

History
The Baunei coastline developed around pastoral paths and small fishing coves; Goloritzè’s celebrated rock features were formed by millions of years of marine limestone erosion.
Conservation
Cala di Goloritzè is protected; stick to marked trails, pack out trash and avoid fixed gear placement beyond established anchors to limit impact.

Start at first light
Begin early to avoid heat on exposed limestone and to secure calmer morning sea winds for the descent and swim.
Hydrate well
Carry at least 2–3 liters of water and electrolyte snacks—there’s no shade on the approach or the climb.
Check wind and sea conditions
Strong maestrale wind can make the approach and return swim hazardous; confirm weather before departure.
Know your rope skills
This is multi‑pitch terrain—be comfortable with belaying, rope management and anchors or book a guided team.
Approach shoes
Grippy, supportive shoes for rocky, uneven trails between Golgo and the cove.
Climbing harness & helmet
Essential for multi‑pitch protection and falling debris on narrow routes—often provided but bring your own if preferred.
2–3 L water + energy snacks
Sustained exertion in sun and wind requires reliable hydration and quick calories.
summer
Light waterproof/wind jacket
Wind off the sea can be cool; a lightweight shell protects during belays and the return hike.
