Sos Dorroles

Sos Dorroles is a small cove near Cala Gonone, framed by orange-pink limestone scree and turquoise water.

Why it matters

The beach is notable for the colour of its shoreline and the unusual scree wall that encloses it. It forms part of the varied coastal geology of the Gulf of Orosei.

What to notice

Limestone scree frames the cove, while sand and pebbles meet clear water. The beach merges northward with Palmasera and southward with s'Abba Meica. The coastline combines pale beaches with rocky headlands and scrub-covered slopes.

Context and history

Sos Dorroles belongs to the coastal territory of Dorgali. Its rock and sediment forms reflect the fractured limestone coastline of the Gulf of Orosei. The nearby Nuraghe Mannu is evidence of Bronze Age settlement in the wider area.
