The closest parking is not always the cheapest
The port square is the closest parking area to Cala Gonone boarding points. It is very convenient for unloading bags, boarding boats or short stops, but for long excursions it can become the most expensive option.
Perfect for an easy departure, less ideal if the boat keeps you away for 8-10 hours.
The port square solves the distance problem: unload bags, reach boarding and you are already in the right place. The tradeoff is cost on long stays.
Where it is
Port square and boarding points
Port parking sits in the most immediate point for boats, dinghies and motorboats leaving toward the Golfo di Orosei.
It is the simplest option if you arrive with children, bags, beach equipment or limited time before departure.
In high season many visitors head to the same place: traffic, rotation and cost should be considered before arriving at the last minute.

Practical choice
When does it really make sense?
The port square is strongest when time or luggage matter more than cost. For a full day, compare it with Iscrittiorè and the free shuttle.
Choose it if
- You need to unload bags or equipment.
- You have children or passengers with reduced mobility.
- You stop briefly or departure is close.
- You want to stay beside boarding points.
Consider alternatives if
- You leave the car for 8-10 hours.
- You want to reduce full-day cost.
- You arrive at peak crowd times.
- You can walk or use the free shuttle.
Port excursions
Convenient to leave, worth checking for full days
Cala Luna, Cala Mariolu, Cala Sisine and Grotta del Bue Marino often start from port logistics. Nearby parking helps at departure, but cost matters when returning in the afternoon.

Cala Luna
Great if you need quick boarding, less economical if you stay away many hours.
Full day
Cala Mariolu
The port is convenient, but on 8-10 hours Iscrittiorè can cost much less.
Loading equipment
Dinghies
If you need to unload bags or gear, the port square remains very practical.
Precise times
Bue Marino
With tickets and fixed times, staying close to departure reduces stress and delays.
Local advice
Use it for convenience, not by default
In July and August many people head directly to the port with no plan B. Decide first: port if you need proximity, Iscrittiorè if cost matters, town centre for shorter stops.
Arrive before 09:00 in July and August if you have a boat departure.
Use it if you have luggage, children or need to unload quickly near boarding points.
For 8-10 hours, always compare the cost with Iscrittiorè.
Check signs, payment and the 08:00-20:00 window before leaving the car.
Racermap mobility
If you move often, choose an easy vehicle to park
Compact cars and scooters help when moving between hotels, port, town and road-access beaches. Vehicle choice reduces parking stress throughout the holiday.
For the port, a compact city car is easier to manage than a large car. If you have little luggage, a scooter is often the most agile way to move inside Cala Gonone.
