It was also in the general direction of my plan to travel clockwise around the entire island. Since there are no paved roads and very few dirt or rocky roads to the coastline, the only viable access is from the water. Consequently, I decided to take a full-day boat excursion in order to explore this beautiful rugged coastline on the eastern side of the island. I also believe that the best views are to be experienced from the water. Our charter had 11 other guests from various parts of the world. I befriended some Brits, and a mother and daughter from Japan. It made for a very enjoyable day. The charter provided beer, wine and a hot lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.earthlylocomotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/0DC82FF2-6994-4A17-9BA5-D35F546280B2_1_201_a.heic\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2440\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Some of the rugged coastline along the Golfo di Orosei.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.earthlylocomotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/48B68863-6114-4D97-AF25-A2FD55180D53_1_105_c-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthlylocomotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/48B68863-6114-4D97-AF25-A2FD55180D53_1_105_c-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.earthlylocomotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/48B68863-6114-4D97-AF25-A2FD55180D53_1_105_c-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.earthlylocomotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/48B68863-6114-4D97-AF25-A2FD55180D53_1_105_c-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.earthlylocomotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/48B68863-6114-4D97-AF25-A2FD55180D53_1_105_c-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.earthlylocomotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/48B68863-6114-4D97-AF25-A2FD55180D53_1_105_c.jpeg 1086w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Another area and some of the granite spires dramatically surging up from the coastline.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.earthlylocomotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/D24EAEE8-50EF-40EA-B232-991522E0EAAD_1_105_c.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthlylocomotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/D24EAEE8-50EF-40EA-B232-991522E0EAAD_1_105_c.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.earthlylocomotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/D24EAEE8-50EF-40EA-B232-991522E0EAAD_1_105_c-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.earthlylocomotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/D24EAEE8-50EF-40EA-B232-991522E0EAAD_1_105_c-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.earthlylocomotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/D24EAEE8-50EF-40EA-B232-991522E0EAAD_1_105_c-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Because of today&#8217;s partly-cloudy skies, there were fewer people at the beaches where we stopped to swim.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.earthlylocomotion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/85E371C4-6C57-474A-8DDA-17319A708B0D_1_201_a.heic\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2442\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One of the few beaches along the Golfo di Orosei.
