About the beach
Cala di Trana, within Palau (the province of Gallura Nord-Est Sardegna, Sardinia), is a beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The beach faces north (15°). It is most sheltered when the Ostro (S) or Libeccio (SW) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Tramontane (N) or Gregale (NE) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
