La Caletta between beach, harbour and regional life
Accommodation in La Caletta
La Caletta: Beachscape and Coastal Town
La Caletta’s coastal landscape is especially evident at the beach: it stretches for five kilometres from the coastal village of the same name to the Su Graneri lagoon. Spiaggia grande features soft, golden sand and crystal-clear blue water. Pine trees surround the beach, while the seabed slopes gently. This creates a clearly structured coastal area of village, beach and lagoon, which you can experience as distinct aspects of the area when planning your days by the sea.
The Harbour as a Maritime Working and Recreational Area
The modern harbour of La Caletta serves as a commercial port, fishing port and marina. The public marina can accommodate approximately 500 boats. The harbour is also protected from Tramontana, Gregale and Scirocco winds. It therefore represents the connection between trade, fishing and yachting in La Caletta and shapes the coastal town’s maritime character.
Water Sports and Excursions on the Water
La Caletta’s marina has a sailing school as well as a school for surfing and diving. Equipment can be rented there, and boat and inflatable-boat excursions depart from the marina. Spiaggia grande is also equipped for water sports such as kitesurfing and windsurfing. You can therefore choose between courses, rented equipment, excursions and activities directly on the beach.
Waterfront Promenade and Practical Orientation
La Caletta has a large car park that is regularly used by motorhome and camping travellers. In the evening, the town has a waterfront promenade with venues that are open or active on summer evenings. When choosing accommodation in La Caletta, you can first consider whether you want to focus your stay mainly on the beach, harbour, water sports or evening promenade.
History and Festival in the District
In the mid-19th century, the bay of La Caletta sheltered ships from Santa Margherita Ligure and Naples that were carrying grain, wine and cheese. In the La Caletta district, the celebration of Nostra Signora di Fatima takes place on the second Sunday in May. It includes numerous stalls along the promenade, concerts and other secular and religious events. Thus, the waterfront promenade is associated not only with summer evenings but also with a festive event in the annual calendar.
Baronia, Pompia and the Route to La Caletta
In the Baronia area around Siniscola, pompia is an essential ingredient in several traditional desserts. The route “Dai graniti della Gallura alle torri della Baronìa” also ends in La Caletta di Siniscola. This provides different points of interest for your planning: the coast and harbour, regional cuisine, water sports and a route whose destination is La Caletta.
