Spiaggia del Relitto
La Maddalena
Spiaggia del Relitto on Caprera is famous for its Caribbean-like colors, fine white sand, and the wreck of an old barge in its clear waters.
Location
Spiaggia del Relitto, nestled in Caprera's pristine nature, is a true gem. It owes its name to the wreck of an old barge resting just a few meters from the shore, partially visible below the water's surface, lending the bay a special, mystical atmosphere. The fine, white sand and crystal-clear, turquoise water create a Caribbean-like setting that invites you to dream.
The bay is not only ideal for swimming and sunbathing but also perfect for snorkel enthusiasts eager to explore the underwater world. During peak season, there's a small section of the beach with sun loungers and umbrellas; otherwise, the beach is freely accessible. The rocky sides of the bay also create interesting depths and color variations.
It's hard to resist the charm of this place. Despite the somewhat difficult access via a dirt road, you'll be rewarded with an unforgettable natural experience that is absolutely worth the journey. A perfect spot to escape daily life and enjoy the island's tranquility.
