Cala d'alga
La Maddalena
Cala d'Alga is an idyllic beach on Spargi Island in the La Maddalena Archipelago. It features two fine sand coves separated by pink granite rocks. Its shallow, shimmering waters are ideal for snorkeling and relaxation.
Location
Cala d'Alga is located in the southwestern part of Spargi Island, a jewel in the La Maddalena Archipelago in northern Sardinia. This beach enchants with two fine, light sandy areas separated by imposing granite rocks. The rocks, partly pink, characterize the entire bay and create a picturesque backdrop. The shallow, shimmering sea, ranging from azure to emerald green, is ideal for snorkeling and relaxation. Particularly striking are the smoothly polished rocks that protrude here and there from the water, giving the bay its unique character. The bay is also known for its proximity to the suggestive 'Witch's Head' rock formation.
