La Caletta


La Caletta is a small town, a harbour and a tourist destination in Sardinia, Italy. Caletta means a small bay or little harbour.
The town is located approximately 50 km south of Olbia, in the administrative territory of Siniscola, on the Tyrrhenian coast of the island.
An ancient village of fishermen, its small gulf has been transformed in the 1970s into a touristic harbour, and recently renewed and enlarged. The town is today deeply dependent on tourism and borders, at its northern side, with San Giovanni, the coastal fraction of Posada.
La Caletta is in front of a well known beach that ends at the small town of Santa Lucia.
Local population requires that La Caletta can have in its port a ferry line for the Continent, and some experiments were practiced a few years ago, that confirmed the potential success of such an eventual initiative, but administrative problems and local rivalries actually stop any further evolution in this sense.
