Spiaggia di Santa Maria
La Maddalena
Spiaggia di Santa Maria, often confused, exists both in the Maddalena Archipelago and in Santa Maria Navarrese. Both captivate with clear waters and Mediterranean charm.
Location
Spiaggia di Santa Maria comes in two forms: one as a picturesque stretch in the Maddalena Archipelago and the other as a charming bay in Santa Maria Navarrese, in eastern Sardinia. While the version in the archipelago captivates with its wild nature, framed by Mediterranean scrub and wind-shaped rocks, the bay in Santa Maria Navarrese offers the amenities of a village beach with diverse services.
The beach in the Maddalena Archipelago is known for its fine, white sand and turquoise, crystal-clear waters. Here, one can enjoy a pristine natural environment where only a few houses are inhabited during the summer season. It is an ideal place for those seeking tranquility and nature lovers who wish to explore the archipelago.
Spiaggia di Santa Maria Navarrese, on the other hand, located 5 kilometers south of Pedra Longa, is a sheltered bay that remains pleasant even during mistral winds. It is situated directly in the center of the village marina, making it easily accessible. Here, you will find various activity offerings and convenient parking options.
Highlights
