Cala Luna is an isolated beach, about 4km down the coast from the road end by Cala Fuili, south of Cala Gonone. It is visited by boats and other travellers in the Summer months, but is mostly deserted at less popular times. The climbing is situated on 2 very different cliffs on opposite sides of the bay. The main ‘Beach’ area is a series of spectacular caves, separated by pillars, consisting of superb and compact rock. The other area is a vast and barely developed headland with a big slab of rock. The grades on this second sector are more friendly but the position is intimidating with exposure from the first moves owing to the steep slope below the crag.
