Cala di Trana lies in the municipality of Palau, on the northern coast of Sardinia, opposite the Archipelago of La Maddalena.
This small beach extends for a little over 200 metres, surrounded by granite rocks on the sides and a large dune acting as a barrier at the back.
The sandy shore has fine, clear, cream-coloured sand, while its seabed is low and sandy.
Mediterranean shrub grows all around with juniper, strawberry tree and mastic tree.
The cove is protected and uncontaminated and can is accessible from the sea or along trekking paths, some of them stretching along the coast, starting from Punta Sardegna.
