Cala Moresca is a small, sheltered cove where the calm sea gently laps against the shore. The vivid contrast between the emerald-green waters and the red-hued rocks creates a truly unique setting, making this spot in Tortolì one of the most enchanting along the coast.

Its name carries echoes of a turbulent past: from the 8th century until the early 19th, Saracen pirates and Barbary corsairs—the so-called “Moors”—raided these shores, leaving their mark in local place names. Today, Cala Moresca greets visitors with its serene beauty and a charm steeped in centuries of history.
