Cala lunga di Razzoli
La Maddalena
Cala Lunga is the main beach of Razzoli Island, known for its fine, white sand and crystal-clear sea. It is the only landing point on the island.
Location
Cala Lunga is situated in a sheltered inlet in the southern part of Razzoli Island, one of the northernmost islands of the La Maddalena archipelago. Its main characteristic is the very white, fine sand, which in some places mixes with amber sand or small pebbles. The sea here sparkles in beautiful turquoise and azure tones, inviting visitors to swim and snorkel.
Cala Lunga bay is divided into two sections by a small headland, which gives it a unique aesthetic. It is not only scenically beautiful but also historically significant: an old mule track with a railway connects the beach to a historic building on the island, which once served as a point of reference for inhabitants. Today, the island is uninhabited and offers unspoiled nature.
As the only anchorage on Razzoli, Cala Lunga is a popular stop for boat trips and sailors exploring the beauty of the remote islands. Its seclusion guarantees a tranquil atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of the mainland. Here, one can experience nature in its purest form.
Razzoli Island, including Cala Lunga, is part of the La Maddalena National Park and is under strict protection, ensuring the preservation of its pristine landscapes and rich marine life.
