About the beach
Cala Sassari, within Golfo Aranci (the province of Gallura Nord-Est Sardegna, Sardinia), is a beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The beach faces southeast (120°). It is most sheltered when the Mistral (NW) or Ponente (W) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Sirocco (SE) or Levante (E) 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.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
