About the beach
Sa Caleta, within Buggerru (the province of Sulcis Iglesiente, Sardinia), is a sandy beach on the Sea of Sardinia.
The beach faces west (285°). It is most sheltered when the Levante (E) or Sirocco (SE) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Ponente (W) or Mistral (NW) 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.
Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
