Detailed itinerary

We will take pictures in front of one of the most beautiful and protected beaches in the world: the famous Pink Beach, one of the most spectacular phenomena of nature. Spiaggia Rosa is part of the Maddalena Geomarine National Park, an area of inestimable natural interest. It is subject to special protection, which is why it is not possible to walk on the beach or swim in its shore. The island, located just north of Spargi, is famous for the mythical Pink Beach. The coral-colored beach, the chromatic intensity of the colors of the sea and the shapes of the granites that surround the cove constitute a unique spectacle in the world. A natural monument to be observed in religious silence.

The pink beach of Budelli - immortalized by director Michelangelo Antonioni with a very long sequence in the film "Deserto rosso" - is located southeast of the island of Budelli in the Archipelago of La Maddalena and is so defined because of its characteristic coral pink color.

Stop 2

Razzoli and Santa Maria
They are almost united by the Passo degli Asinelli. The island of Razzoli is the most exposed to the north and impresses with the majesty of its cliff and the shapes of its rocks, similar to Moore's sculptures.
The island has a beautiful beach, Cala S.Maria, one of the largest in the Archipelago.

The Port Madonna:
This is the name of the lagoon with its emerald sea enclosed between the islands of Budelli, Razzoli and S.Maria.
It is undoubtedly the most suggestive place of the Park.
A popular destination for yachtsmen who frequent the sea in the northeast of Sardinia.
In this extraordinary body of water, the Park has reserved large areas of sea dedicated to snorkeling and seawatching activities.

Stop in one of the wonderful bays of the island of Spargi, first stop of the Maddalena Archipelago, where you can snorkel and swim in the incredibly transparent and turquoise water, swimming to the fantastic white beaches of this beautiful island. To arrive one hour.

Stop on Cala Santa Maria beach long beach with turquoise sea or on the coves of its west coast , wonderful natural pools with a turquoise color tending to white sheltered from the east
