Location
The Spiaggia Rosa, nestled in a cove on the southeast of Budelli island, is one of Sardinia's most iconic attractions. Its name derives from the exceptional color of its sand, created by tiny fragments of coral, granite, and seashells washed up by currents and waves.
This beach has been strictly protected since 1994 to preserve its fragile beauty for future generations. Access to the beach and swimming in its immediate vicinity are prohibited to avoid disturbing the ecological balance. Spiaggia Rosa is part of the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park, a protected marine area of immense ecological importance.
Visitors can admire the impressive pink coastline from designated vantage points or from a boat. Access typically involves boat tours that explore the archipelago, also offering the opportunity to experience other beautiful beaches in the area. Spiaggia Rosa remains a symbol of untouched nature and the necessity of environmental protection.
