The beach at Cala ‘e Moro sits on the northern coast of the town of Bosa, in western Sardinia.
It is a narrow and deep inlet featuring a beach with different sized pebbles. The cove is protected by tall reefs of grey volcanic-sedimentary rock origin topped by a thick Mediterranean shrub. The beach has a clear, large-grain sand, with a predominance of smoothed pebbles in a variety of colours.
The reefs have been shaped by wave motion to create rounded forms and small caves opening out towards the sea. The seabed is mostly rocky and gives the sea its emerald green, sky blue colours, depending on how the sunlight reflects on it.
Continuing northwards along the coast, you can visit the characteristic tuft cliff of Sos Pupos. The cliff stands almost 80 m a.s.l. and offers a unique view with various caverns and rounded rocks.
The name Cala ‘e Moro (“cala of the moors“) apparently derives from the constant presence of pirates who, in past centuries, would frequent it.
It is easy to reach the beach from the sea, while over land, you will need to follow a trekking pathway, that is not always easy to walk along.
