Cala Goloritzé is a protected National Monument in the Orosei Gulf, offering a peaceful snorkelling environment. The site features a reef with depths ranging from 5 to 15 metres, averaging 10 metres. Snorkellers access the water from the shore, with the site located 250 metres from the coastline. Boats are required to remain 300 metres offshore. Visibility typically reaches 15 to 25 metres. Divers and snorkellers should be aware of underwater karst springs that cause sudden, significant drops in water temperature, sometimes up to 10°C colder than the surrounding sea. Due to these temperature fluctuations and the nature of the site, it is best suited for advanced snorkellers.
