According to the "Guide to the nature of Sardinia" of Fulco Pratesi and Guido Tassi, with reference to the Coast of Baunei "there is not elsewhere perhaps in our country a so ample and unknown arc of coast: 40 kilometers of bastions and calcareous cliffs, just interrupted here and there from few cale, probably the most beautiful line of the Italian shore in absolute sense and without shade of doubt the sourer and wild... "

The territory of Baunei develops him long the center-oriental band of Sardinia and it constitutes, both historically and geographically, the northern border of the Ogliastra. His North limit, in fact, coincides with the uncontaminated Codula Elune, that finishes in the homonym Cala (Cala Luna). Leaving from the south the most renowned spots are: The stone peak of Pedra Longa, Capo Montesanto, Portu Quau, Cala Biriala, Cala Goloritze, Cala Mariolu, Cala Sisine and Cala Luna and the the Grotta del Fico accessible only by boat or on foot. The central beach of Saint Maria Navarrse is situated to the center of the country, it is an enchanting bay mended by the winds and delimited to south by some rock-cliffs of red porfido.

As poetically it suggests a Sardinian contemporary narrator, the baunesi have passed "light" on their earth, and today really that "lightness" it is their strength an instinctive conscience that has allowed to maintain entire 40 kilometers of coast and an unique hinterland: a match unique of painted landscapes of blue and of green, a magic symbiosis that unites the sea to the mountain, an energy of the places that is expressed above all with the words that the baunesi use every day.
