On the cover of one of the Sardinia guidebooks is the blue, piercing spire of the Aguglia di Goloritzè. This impressive pinnacle has become the symbol of climbing on the island. On its own it would be a stunning feature but its location, perched above an incomparable beach and surrounded by huge cliffs, makes this a very special spot. Boat trips to the beach were once banned but they have now restarted in the Summer months. The coast hereabouts is lined with some other huge cliffs. For those looking for adventure the nearby Punta Giradili and Regno dei Ciel will deliver plenty. The former has a magnificent central pillar taken direct by Via Wolfgang Gullich, a 12-pitch 7a, and the latter a Verdon look-a-like sector complete with top-down access.
