Cala degli Inglesi
La Maddalena
Cala degli Inglesi is a small, rocky cove on La Maddalena, renowned for its crystal-clear waters and pristine nature. A true gem in northeastern Sardinia.
Location
Cala degli Inglesi is an enchanting cove in the La Maddalena archipelago, distinguished by its wild and unspoiled beauty. Surrounded by Mediterranean scrub, it offers a picturesque sight with coarse, yellow sand and fascinating rock formations. Its shallow, crystal-clear waters make it particularly appealing for families with children and for snorkeling.
Its secluded nature is part of its charm; the cove is only accessible via a somewhat challenging but rewarding path, or more commonly by sea. Arriving early will reward visitors with a quiet atmosphere and ample space, as the cove is relatively small.
Although bearing the name "English Cove," it is symbolic of Sardinia's pristine nature and is a must-visit for anyone seeking tranquility and authentic Sardinian coastal landscapes away from the more crowded beaches.
