Cala Sisine
Cala Sisine rises at the end of a codula, or rather a gully, once a river bed, now the mouth of a small stream, which originates in the Golgo plateau, in the Supramonte of Baunei.One of the most beautiful seaside resorts in the world, it has a singular mountain appearance. The waters are iridescent turquoise due to the play of sunlight reflecting off them. The seabed is of light limestone sand and rounded stones, ideal if you dive with mask and snorkel.To the south is a spectacular fifty-metre high inlet, a springboard for the most experienced and courageous divers. In ancient times it was known as portu ‘e Sisine, a landing place for coal shipments. To the north, it retains a building constructed by coal miners.In past centuries, it was a compulsory stop before or after rounding the terrible insane mountains (hence the name capo Monte Santo), as Cicero called them. It is also said that just south of the beach, during the Second World War, a submarine stopped at a sheltered spot known as su Stuggiu (the hiding place).
