Cala Gonone
Climbers, divers, sea kayakers, hikers and beach bums all rave about Cala Gonone.
Backed by imperious tree-specked cliffs, the resort has kept the low-key, family-friendly
vibe of the small fishing village it once was. With an appealing line-up of hotels, bars and
restaurants on its pine-fringed lungomare, Gonone makes a great base for outdoor adven-
tures along this magnificent stretch of coast.
