The quay in Cala Gonone slips away beneath your feet and the Gulf of Orosei opens like a corridor of limestone cliffs and blue so clear it seems to pull light from the sky. A compact dinghy hums beneath you — 40 hp, easy to steer, and ready for a day of independent exploration. Head for the wide mouth of the gulf and choose your own route: dramatic cliffs, hidden inlets, and beaches that are often only reachable by sea.
