Cala Moresca: Snorkelling and Wild Nature at Golfo Aranci
Cala Moresca: a wild bay with the best snorkelling 15 min from Olbia. Limited free car park. Hire a Jeep Avenger with KS Rent Sardinia.
Under the shadow of Capo Figari, this twin-cove haven offers some of Sardinia's finest snorkelling just 20 minutes from Olbia. A rugged, service-free sanctuary where nature remains untouched. Limited parking available; KS Rent delivers reliable vehicles directly to you.
The Unspoilt Appeal of Capo Figari’s Twin Bays
Framed by a dense pine grove and the striking ruins of a 19th-century lime kiln, these dual sandy arcs face the iconic pyramid profile of Figarolo Island. It is a silent world of granite and mastic trees, where wild mouflons roam the cliffs above and absolute peace replaces beach bars.
Navigating the Route from Olbia
Drive northeast from Olbia along the scenic SP16 road for 18 km, 20 minutes to reach the gateway near Golfo Aranci. Leave your vehicle at the dedicated parking area before embarking on a short, scenic 5-minute descent on foot through the pine forest to the shore.
Essential Packing for the Day
- Snorkelling gear — the marine reserve boasts thriving posidonia meadows, octopuses and curious groupers
- All provisions — this is a fully protected reserve with no cafes or facilities
- Sturdy sea shoes for navigating the rocky outcrops and tide pools
- A robust Jeep Avenger to comfortably tackle the unsealed coastal tracks
Beyond the Headland
Further exploration reveals the fine sands of Cala Sabina just minutes away, and the pale waters of Spiaggia Bianca nearby. Cap off the journey in the local harbour of Golfo Aranci to sample authentic sea urchin pasta or cured bottarga at a traditional waterfront trattoria.
