The moment you board the ferry in the port of Palau and cross the narrow strait, the <strong>national park and archipelago of La Maddalena, Italy<\/strong> opens up before you. Travellers from all over the world rave that the water here is so impossibly turquoise and crystal-clear that, at times, you&#8217;ll feel as if you&#8217;re in the Caribbean rather than the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole archipelago is made up of seven main granite islands and dozens of smaller islets, all strictly protected as a national park since 1994. They say you&#8217;ll find the very <strong>most beautiful beaches in all of Sardinia<\/strong> here, but don&#8217;t be fooled \u2014 it&#8217;s not just about lounging on white sand. You&#8217;ll also discover stunning panoramic roads, fascinating history tied to the Italian hero Garibaldi, and wild nature that&#8217;s guaranteed to take your breath away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide you&#8217;ll find <strong>10 tips on what to see and do in La Maddalena<\/strong> so you don&#8217;t miss a single corner of this slice of paradise.

The main gateway to the islands is the <strong>little port town of Palau<\/strong> in northern Sardinia, from which ferries shuttle to the main island of La Maddalena throughout the day. The best-known company is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delcomar.it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Delcomar<\/a>, whose boats run very frequently and the <strong>crossing takes only 15 to 20 minutes<\/strong>. Tickets can be bought right at the port and the ferries carry cars without any problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering about the La Maddalena weather and when to go, July and especially August can be a real test of nerves. During the Italian holidays (around the Ferragosto bank holiday) the crowds pour in, temperatures climb to 35 \u00b0C and <strong>prices for accommodation and services shoot up sharply<\/strong>. A much more pleasant time is reportedly June or September, when the sea is still beautifully warm at around 24 \u00b0C, but the town&#8217;s alleys and the beaches are far more bearable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another crucial factor for your visit is the weather \u2014 or rather the <strong>unpredictable mistral wind<\/strong> (maestrale in Italian). This strong north-westerly wind can whip up the sea within a few hours to the point where all boat trips get cancelled. Seasoned travellers recommend regularly checking the forecast in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.windfinder.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Windfinder<\/a> app and having a plan B ready on the main island, which you can reach by car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_La_Maddalena_hotels_and_bases\"><\/span>Where to stay: La Maddalena hotels and bases<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your accommodation strategy depends on how much time you want to spend in the national park. If you only plan to explore the islands over a day or two, it makes sense to <strong>stay on the mainland around Palau<\/strong> or Santa Teresa Gallura and just do day trips to La Maddalena. You&#8217;ll save on ferrying your car across and avoid the extra logistics. Most organised boat trips also depart from Palau, so in the morning you&#8217;ll only have a few steps to the harbour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you want to soak up the true island atmosphere \u2014 when the last day-trippers leave, the buzz fades and the town takes on an incredibly romantic feel \u2014 stay <strong>right on the main island of La Maddalena<\/strong>. Here you&#8217;ll find both boutique hotels in the historic centre and quieter resorts with pools just outside town. Just bear in mind that capacity is limited and, especially in the peak summer season, the best deals disappear months in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sleeping right on the <strong>La Maddalena archipelago<\/strong> means having paradise on your doorstep even after the afternoon excursion boats sail off and the island falls quiet. A practical alternative is <strong>Palau on the mainland<\/strong>, just a few minutes away by ferry and easier to reach by car. Choose according to whether you want peace and quiet, or a convenient base for setting off on trips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2728 For wellness and tranquillity:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=la-maddalena&#038;hotelname=Grand%20Hotel%20Resort%20Ma%26Ma&#038;address=La%20Maddalena%2C%20It%C3%A1lie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Grand Hotel Resort Ma&#038;Ma<\/a> <em>(La Maddalena)<\/em> \u2014 an elegant resort with a spa just steps from the beaches; <strong>adults-only calm<\/strong> and the island almost to yourself once the day-trippers have gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udc91 For couples near the sea:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=la-maddalena&#038;hotelname=Hotel%20La%20Funtana&#038;address=La%20Maddalena%2C%20It%C3%A1lie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Hotel La Funtana<\/a> <em>(La Maddalena)<\/em> \u2014 a modern hotel with a pool close to both the town and the beaches; <strong>a comfortable base for exploring the archipelago<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udcb0 For a central stay at a reasonable price:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=la-maddalena&#038;hotelname=Petit%20Hotel%20Cavour&#038;address=La%20Maddalena%2C%20It%C3%A1lie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Petit Hotel Cavour<\/a> <em>(La Maddalena)<\/em> \u2014 a cosy little hotel <strong>right in the centre<\/strong> of La Maddalena town, with everything within walking distance in the evening and at a pleasant price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u26f5 For convenient boat trips:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=la-maddalena&#038;hotelname=Hotel%20La%20Roccia&#038;address=Palau%2C%20It%C3%A1lie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Hotel La Roccia<\/a> <em>(Palau)<\/em> \u2014 in Palau on the mainland, <strong>just minutes from the harbour<\/strong> where the boats set off for the archipelago, with easy access by car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>One last tip:<\/strong> you can book most hotels through <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Booking.com\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/booking-com\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Booking.com<\/a> with <strong>free cancellation<\/strong>, so you can reserve your favourite spot right away and decide later.

Life here revolves around the harbour where the ferries arrive from the mainland, and that&#8217;s exactly where you can set off to explore. The advantage of the main island is that you <strong>can comfortably drive around it in your own car<\/strong> or on a scooter, giving you total freedom over where and how long you stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_The_town_and_bustling_harbour_of_La_Maddalena\"><\/span>1.

They say the town has its best atmosphere in the whole north in the evening, when the street lamps come on and locals head out for the traditional passeggiata (evening stroll). Be sure to set aside time to wander around the harbour, where fishing boats bob alongside luxury sailing yachts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1062\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-9.jpg\" alt=\"Cala Gavetta harbour in the town of La Maddalena\" class=\"wp-image-229888\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-9.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-9-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-9-700x465.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-9-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-9-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-9-696x462.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-9-1392x924.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cala Gavetta harbour in the town of La Maddalena<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_The_panoramic_road_and_the_Bassa_Trinita_and_Spalmatore_beaches\"><\/span>2. The panoramic road and the Bassa Trinit\u00e0 and Spalmatore beaches<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to explore the main island is to take the <strong>scenic road known as the Strada Panoramica<\/strong>, which loops around most of the island. This route offers breathtaking views over turquoise bays and the neighbouring islands, and around almost every bend you&#8217;ll feel the urge to stop and take photos. Among the most popular stops is Spalmatore beach on the east coast, which is sheltered from the wind and has good facilities. But if you&#8217;re after something wilder, head north to the brilliant white Bassa Trinit\u00e0 beach with its gorgeous sand dunes, or to the picturesque Cala Lunga bay. In peak season, though, definitely come early in the morning, because the car parks by the best beaches fill up in a flash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1064\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-1.jpg\" alt=\"Bassa Trinit\u00e0 beach on La Maddalena island\" class=\"wp-image-229882\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-1.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-1-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-1-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-1-696x463.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-1-1392x926.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bassa Trinit\u00e0 beach on La Maddalena island<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Sunset_at_Punta_Tegge\"><\/span>3.

Instead of fine sand, you&#8217;ll find <strong>flat granite reefs and boulders<\/strong> that the sea and wind have sculpted over millennia into bizarre, rounded shapes. It&#8217;s an absolutely perfect place to watch the sunset. In the evening light the rocks turn golden and even red, and the sight of the sun dipping below the horizon with the island of Spargi in the background is said to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. What&#8217;s more, you&#8217;ll often find lovely beach bars here where you can enjoy an evening drink and just listen to the lapping of the waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1164\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-sunset.jpg\" alt=\"Sunset over the La Maddalena archipelago at Punta Tegge\" class=\"wp-image-229891\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-sunset.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-sunset-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-sunset-700x509.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-sunset-768x559.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-sunset-1536x1117.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-sunset-696x506.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-sunset-1392x1013.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sunset over the La Maddalena archipelago at Punta Tegge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Caprera_island_Garibaldi_and_a_Caribbean_cove\"><\/span>Caprera island: Garibaldi and a Caribbean cove<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Right next to the main island of La Maddalena lies Caprera, which is <strong>conveniently linked to it by the man-made Passo della Moneta bridge<\/strong>. So you can drive across without any trouble. Unlike its busier sister, Caprera is wild, green and laced with pine groves. A large part of the island is protected, no roads lead to many of its coves, and you have to reach them on foot along dusty trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_The_house_and_museum_of_Giuseppe_Garibaldi\"><\/span>4. The house and museum of Giuseppe Garibaldi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Caprera is famous not only for its nature, but above all as the place where the celebrated Italian general Giuseppe Garibaldi spent the last twenty-six years of his life. If you have even the slightest interest in history, a visit to the <strong>Compendio Garibaldino<\/strong> complex is almost a must. Here you can see his iconic &#8220;White House&#8221;, which he built himself in the style of South American farms, as well as his personal belongings, his library and his tomb. It&#8217;s fascinating to see that the man who unified Italy chose this remote, wind-battered corner of Sardinia for his rest. I&#8217;d recommend checking ticket prices and opening hours on the <a href=\"https:\/\/garibaldi.cultura.gov.it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">museum&#8217;s official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-3.jpg\" alt=\"The Giuseppe Garibaldi house-museum on Caprera island\" class=\"wp-image-229884\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-3.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-3-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-3-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-3-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-3-1392x927.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Giuseppe Garibaldi house-museum on Caprera island<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!-- LKM_GYG_CARD start q=\"souostrovi maddalena\" lang=\"en\" rendered=\"2026-06-18T02:36:04+00:00\" v=\"1\" -->\n<style id=\"lk-gyg-styles\">\n@import url(\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Playfair+Display:wght@700&family=DM+Sans:wght@300;400;500;600&display=swap\");\n\/* === LK GYG karty \u2014 CRO redesign 2026-05 (namespace .lkx-) ===\n   C\u00edl: vy\u0161\u0161\u00ed CTR (hero + v\u00fdrazn\u00fd social proof + ak\u010dn\u00ed CTA, m\u00e9n\u011b \"reklamn\u00ed\").\n   Injektuje se inline do prvn\u00edho markeru postu (refresh_cards.py --inline-css). *\/\n.lkx-module, .lkx-module *{box-sizing:border-box;margin:0;padding:0}\n.lkx-module{\n  font-family:'DM Sans',-apple-system,Segoe UI,Roboto,Georgia,sans-serif;\n  max-width:860px;margin:2.5rem auto;color:#1f2328;\n}\n\n\/* HEADER \u2014 lehk\u00fd editorsk\u00fd, \u017e\u00e1dn\u00fd bannerov\u00fd blok;

Cala Coticcio beach, aka the Sardinian Tahiti<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the absolute jewel of the entire national park and probably one of the most famous beaches in Italy. Thanks to its fine white sand and incredibly vivid turquoise water, Cala Coticcio has earned the nickname Tahiti. But because it suffered from an enormous influx of tourists in the past, the park authority introduced <strong>extremely strict rules and limits<\/strong>. The daily limit is currently set at just 60 people, and you can only reach the beach accompanied by an authorised guide after roughly an hour-long trek across rocky terrain. There&#8217;s a small fee of around \u20ac3 for the guide. The rules can also change slightly from year to year, so for the current season be sure to check the booking conditions on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lamaddalenapark.it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">national park&#8217;s official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1201\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-4.jpg\" alt=\"Cala Coticcio beach, known as Tahiti, on Caprera island\" class=\"wp-image-229885\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-4.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-4-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-4-1536x1153.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-4-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-4-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-4-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-4-1392x1045.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cala Coticcio beach, known as Tahiti, on Caprera island<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_most_beautiful_islands_and_coves_for_a_boat_trip\"><\/span>The most beautiful islands and coves for a boat trip<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While you can tackle La Maddalena and Caprera on your own, for the remaining islands of the archipelago <strong>you&#8217;ll need a boat<\/strong>. And it would be a huge shame to skip them, because it&#8217;s precisely the uninhabited islands in the north-west of the park that offer the most iconic postcard views of Sardinia. Dozens of companies run boat trips, and choosing the right one is key to a successful experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Budelli_island_and_the_forbidden_Pink_Beach_Spiaggia_Rosa\"><\/span>6. Budelli island and the forbidden Pink Beach (Spiaggia Rosa)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Budelli island hides one of the greatest natural wonders of the Mediterranean. The famous Spiaggia Rosa, or Pink Beach, got its name from the microscopic shells of foraminifera and fragments of coral that tinted the sand pink. Unfortunately, tourists used to carry this sand home by the kilo in bottles, so the beach almost lost its colour entirely. <strong>Since 1998, entry has been strictly forbidden<\/strong> (Zone A, the highest level of protection). You can&#8217;t set foot on it, and there&#8217;s even a ban on swimming and anchoring boats within 70 metres of the shore. Breaking the rules carries a \u20ac500 fine, and stealing sand an incredible \u20ac3,500. During boat trips the captain will show you this legend only from a respectful distance, but it&#8217;s well worth it all the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1395\" height=\"1861\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-14.jpg\" alt=\"Budelli island and the forbidden Pink Beach (Spiaggia Rosa)\" class=\"wp-image-227819\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-14.jpg 1395w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-14-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-14-700x934.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-14-768x1025.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-14-1151x1536.jpg 1151w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-14-696x928.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/wiki-14-1392x1857.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1395px) 100vw, 1395px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Budelli island and the forbidden Pink Beach (Spiaggia Rosa)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Spargi_island_and_Cala_Corsara_bay\"><\/span>7. Spargi island and Cala Corsara bay<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Spargi is the third-largest island in the archipelago and probably the one with the most dramatic coastline. Its calling card is steep granite cliffs and coves that once served as a pirate hideout. By far the most popular stop for all the boats is the <strong>beautiful Cala Corsara bay<\/strong> on the southern tip of the island. When you arrive, you&#8217;re greeted by dazzling white sand and rocks in which, with a little imagination, you can make out the shape of a dog&#8217;s head or a boot. The water here is so clear that the boats look as if they&#8217;re floating in mid-air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-10.jpg\" alt=\"Spargi island and Cala Corsara bay\" class=\"wp-image-229889\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-10.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-10-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-10-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-10-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-10-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-10-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-10-1392x927.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Spargi island and Cala Corsara bay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Santa_Maria_island\"><\/span>8. Santa Maria island<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared with rocky, wild Spargi, Santa Maria is much flatter and greener. It&#8217;s the only place besides the main island of La Maddalena and Caprera where you&#8217;d find a few private houses, but these serve mostly as summer residences. The main draw is the huge <strong>Cala Santa Maria bay with its very shallow seabed<\/strong>, resembling a giant natural swimming pool. This is exactly where boats often head for a longer swimming break, because the water here is a touch warmer and ideal for snorkelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-7.jpg\" alt=\"Beach on Santa Maria island in the La Maddalena archipelago\" class=\"wp-image-229886\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-7.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-7-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-7-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-7-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-7-1392x927.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Beach on Santa Maria island in the La Maddalena archipelago<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Santo_Stefano_island\"><\/span>9. Santo Stefano island<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On boat trips you&#8217;ll usually only see this island from the deck as you sail past. It has a very interesting and slightly secretive history. In the past it housed a US submarine base, and to this day the Italian navy still uses part of the territory. The rest of the island is occupied by an exclusive holiday resort, so the <strong>island isn&#8217;t freely accessible to ordinary tourists<\/strong> and the usual excursion boats don&#8217;t stop at its beaches. Even so, it&#8217;s interesting to take a look at it as you sail by and listen to the captain&#8217;s tales from the Cold War era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-8.jpg\" alt=\"Santo Stefano island in the La Maddalena archipelago\" class=\"wp-image-229887\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-8.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-8-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-8-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-8-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-8-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-8-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/souost-8-1392x927.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Santo Stefano island in the La Maddalena archipelago<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_A_full-day_La_Maddalena_boat_trip\"><\/span>10. A full-day La Maddalena boat trip<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To see all these gems with your own eyes, you&#8217;ll need to book a full-day tour. Most boats set off in the morning from Palau or from the harbour in La Maddalena. You can choose either a large excursion boat, which is cheaper but packs in a lot of people, or <strong>pay a little extra for a smaller catamaran or an inflatable boat<\/strong> (gommone) with a skipper. Smaller boats have the huge advantage of being able to slip into shallower coves where the big ferries aren&#8217;t allowed. In peak season, booking trips well in advance is an absolute must \u2014 easily 48 hours ahead. You can easily compare a selection of excellent boat tours on portals like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sardegnaturismo.it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sardegna Turismo<\/a> or through booking apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-11.jpg\" alt=\"Panorama of La Maddalena national park from a boat trip\" class=\"wp-image-229890\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-11.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-11-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-11-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-11-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-11-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-11-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/lamad-11-1392x927.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Panorama of La Maddalena national park from a boat trip<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Tickets, boat trips and organised tours fill up quickly in season, so it pays to buy them online in advance on <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"GetYourGuide\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/getyourguide\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">GetYourGuide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_eat_at_a_La_Maddalena_restaurant\"><\/span>What to eat at a La Maddalena restaurant<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sardinian cuisine is incredibly rich, and although traditional island restaurants naturally tempt you above all with fish specialities, vegetarians certainly won&#8217;t go hungry here. Sardinia has a strong pastoral tradition, so cheeses and pasta take centre stage. They say it would be a sin to leave without tasting the <strong>famous culurgiones<\/strong> \u2014 hand-pleated pasta parcels filled with potato, pecorino cheese and fresh mint, often served in a simple tomato sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With every meal they&#8217;ll be sure to bring you <strong>pane carasau, an incredibly thin and crispy bread<\/strong> sometimes nicknamed &#8220;music paper&#8221; for its appearance. For a sweet finish, be sure to order seadas (or sebadas). These are large fried parcels filled with melted young cheese and generously drizzled with local honey \u2014 it sounds a little odd, but apparently it&#8217;s an absolute flavour bomb. And of course, don&#8217;t forget to wash it all down with a glass of the excellent local white wine, Vermentino di Gallura, which is grown in the north of the island and boasts Italy&#8217;s highest DOCG certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_go_next\"><\/span>Where to go next<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re planning to explore other parts of this fascinating island, our other comprehensive guides are sure to come in handy.

The journey takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes and the ferries also transport cars.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781200000001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_see_on_La_Maddalena\"><\/span>What to see on La Maddalena?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>On the main island, don&#8217;t miss the historic center with the harbor, the scenic Strada Panoramica road, Spalmatore or Bassa Trinit\u00e0 beaches, and unforgettable sunsets at the rocky Punta Tegge. From neighboring Caprera, be sure to visit Garibaldi&#8217;s house.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781200000002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_visit_the_Pink_Beach_on_Budelli\"><\/span>Can you visit the Pink Beach on Budelli?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>No, entry to the famous Pink Beach (Spiaggia Rosa) has been strictly prohibited since 1998 due to nature conservation. You cannot set foot on it, swimming nearby is forbidden, and you can only see the beach from a distance during a boat trip.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781200000003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Cala_Coticcio_called_Tahiti\"><\/span>What is Cala Coticcio called Tahiti?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It&#8217;s one of the most beautiful beaches in the national park, located on the island of Caprera. Due to nature protection, there&#8217;s a strict limit of maximum 60 visitors per day and access is only possible for a fee accompanied by an authorized guide.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781200000004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_a_boat_trip_around_the_La_Maddalena_archipelago_worth_it\"><\/span>Is a boat trip around the La Maddalena archipelago worth it?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Definitely yes. Without a boat trip, you won&#8217;t be able to reach the most beautiful wild islands such as Spargi, Santa Maria, or Budelli. It&#8217;s precisely these uninhabited islands that offer the most famous Caribbean-like scenery.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781200000005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_a_car_on_La_Maddalena\"><\/span>Do I need a car on La Maddalena?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>&#8220;`html<br \/>\nOn the main island of La Maddalena and neighboring Caprera, you&#8217;ll definitely make use of a car or scooter \u2013 without one, it&#8217;s quite difficult to reach the more remote beaches. However, you can&#8217;t get to the other smaller islands of the national park by car anyway and you&#8217;ll need to take a boat.<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781200000006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_on_La_Maddalena\"><\/span>Where to stay on La Maddalena?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>If you want to experience the island&#8217;s evening atmosphere, stay right in the town of La Maddalena on the main island. However, if you&#8217;re only planning day boat trips, it&#8217;s cheaper and logistically easier to stay on the mainland, for example directly in Palau or the surrounding area.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seven granite islands, water like liquid turquoise and a beach so rare that no human foot may touch it.
