Spiaggia di Cala Fuili is a small pebble cove on the coast south of Cala Gonone, with clear turquoise water beneath steep cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation. A flight of stone steps leads down from the road, where the beach is a good stop for a swim or snorkelling among fish, rock formations and small caves. Climbers come for the rocky terrain, and the coastal trail to Cala Luna starts here. The shore is stony, so water shoes can make getting around more comfortable.
Getting down to the cove
Cala Fuili lies south of Cala Gonone and is the last beach on this stretch of coast accessible by car. From the roadside, a stairway descends through vegetation to the shore. The walk takes about 10 minutes, with views of the cove and coastline along the way. The steep steps make the route unsuitable for strollers.
Parking is limited and is along the road. In peak season, arriving early gives you a better chance of finding a space. Keep the car within the white road markings, as parking across them can result in a fine.
Swimming, snorkelling and climbing
The small beach is made mostly of pebbles and stones, with little sand. The water is clear and quickly gets deeper a short distance from shore. Fish swim among the rocks, and swimming or snorkelling lets you look for small caves and rock formations. Water shoes are useful on the uneven shore.
The rocky landscape also draws climbers. Bring everything you need for your time at the cove: there are no facilities on the beach.
The trail to Cala Luna
Cala Fuili is the starting point for the coastal hike to Cala Luna. The route follows rugged coastal terrain, and the hike is described as a challenging option. Plan for the walk as a separate outing rather than assuming the short descent to Cala Fuili is all it involves.
