Cala Inferno
Alghero
Cala Inferno surprises with its dual presence: a breathtaking bay is found in the La Maddalena Archipelago, while another hidden gem lies on the coast of Capo Caccia near Alghero. Both locations share the allure of untouched nature and crystal-clear waters inviting exploration. The bay in the northeast is a paradise for snorkelers and divers, who will be delighted by the rich marine flora and fauna.
Location
Cala Inferno is a fascinating destination in Sardinia, captivating with two distinct yet equally charming locations. One bay is situated in the La Maddalena Archipelago, in northeastern Sardinia. It is renowned for its fine, almost white sand and rocky shoreline. The waters here are greenish and deep, and the entire area is part of a protected marine area. This bay is particularly attractive for snorkelers and divers due to its rich underwater world. The second Cala Inferno is located on the Capo Caccia coast, near Alghero. This bay forms a triangle with the famous Neptune's Grotto and Foradada and is a popular destination for boat tours. It is characterized by medium-fine to coarse light sand mixed with some pebbles and is less crowded due to its secluded location. Both Calas offer crystal-clear waters and unspoiled nature, inviting exploration.
