About the beach
In the municipality of Dorgali, in the province of Nuoro (Sardinia), Cala Osalla is a sandy beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Orientation: southeast (127°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Mistral (NW) or Ponente (W), keeps it calm; the Sirocco (SE) or Levante (E) hits it from the sea and can raise waves.
Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough.
Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
