Golfo Aranci, a delightful little fishing village in a charming setting with many views to admire and a multitude of activities to do
Cala Moresca
Just outside the village you reach the Spiaggia dei Baracconi (Beach of Baracconi), continuing on foot along a dirt road to the enchanting bay of Cala Moresca, the wild pearl of the village.
Cala Moresca is famous for its two beaches and breathtakingly coloured sea. This beach is worth a visit, it is not equipped, so if you decide to go there, remember to take water and snacks with you.
In the area of Cala Moresca there are also buildings with a small site of industrial archaeology and a lime kiln.
For Walkers
If you love walking and would like to take a hike to visit the surroundings of Golfo Aranci, you can start from Cala Moresca and walk along the path that enters and climbs the headland of Capo Figari.
From Cala Moresca you can reach the Cimitero degli Inglesi with cala Greca, the Punta Filasca fort and the Carbonai path.
The English Cemetery is a small space bordered by a fence surrounded by Mediterranean scrub and typical plants. In this hidden and secluded place there are some ancient tombs on which a Celtic cross stands out, which led to the name "of the British"to this place.
The Traffic Light and Guglielmo Marconi
Starting from Cala Moresca one can also reach the Navy's Marconi Semaphore where on 11 August 1932 Guglielmo Marconi made the first microwave transmission between Capo Figari and Rocca di Papa.
Along the route there are information boards giving details of the flora, fauna and interesting historical facts about the area and the experiments conducted by Marconi.
Once you reach the summit you can enjoy a breathtaking view, from the summit you dominate the area at 360°, a vantage point with the Gulf of Olbia to the south, Capo Ceraso and the island of Tavolara, to the north the Soffi and Mortorio islands with Cala of Volpe, the La Maddalena Archipelago and Costa Smeralda.
