What Are The Best Boat Excursions Between The Archipelago Beaches?
The Maddalena archipelago is the spectacular group of islands in the extreme east coast north of Sardinia. Not far from Palau where the excursions to the archipelago start.
The color of the water in this area is something incredible! Ranging from intense blue to turquoise and emerald green, the water is so transparent that is rather similar to those of the Caribbean beaches.
The 7 main islands of the archipelago:
- Maddalena
- Caprera
- Santo Stefano
- Spargi
- Budelli
- Santa Maria
- Razzoli
What are the main islands to visit?
- La Maddalena. The main island of the archipelago and the only inhabited. The city of La Maddalena is one of the most interesting villages to visit with the lovely historical center. A walk through the streets of the village is really worth it. On the island some amazing coves and beautiful small beaches.
- Caprera. The second island by extension. Connected to La Maddalena by a bridge-dam. The island is known to have been the home of Giuseppe Garibaldi for over 20 years. His white house (a mexican fazenda style) is today a museum visited by many tourists during the summer months. One of the most beautiful bays on this island is Cala Coticcio, a true natural paradise which is considered among the most beautiful beaches in Italy.
- Santo Stefano. The closest island to Palau just a few miles from the coast. On this small island you can stay at the beautiful Santo Stefano Resort with a spectacular private beach. A unique location in Sardinia!
- Spargi. The beaches of Spargi are those of the brochures that represent the unique beauty of La Maddalena Islands. Not even the best filter on your phone will be able to reproduce the colors of its waters. The island of Spargi is worth the whole trip to Sardinia!
- Budelli. On this island and its only inhabitant a modern Robinson Crusoe (the caretaker who was shipwrecked here about 30 years ago established his exclusive residence). Here the world famous beach Spiaggia Rosa. Beautiful and drastically protected inlet, it’s forbidden to the public and it’s only possible to observe it from a distance. The color of the sand is pink due to the corals. Through the boat excursion you can have a look to take some pictures.
- Santa Maria. In addition to the two main islands, this is also permanently inhabited. Here you can visit the beautiful cove of Santa Maria, a Caribbean beach where the water is ultra transparent. Usually the stop on this beach is normally scheduled during the boat excursion to the archipelago.
- Razzoli. A small island with of just under 2 square kilometers. There are incredible paradisiacal coves perfect for snorkeling
