What's included in Daily cruise in the La Maddalena Archipelago
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Cala Corsara
The beautiful Cala Corsara is made up of four beaches. It is one of the busiest given the presence of the pier that allows landings. In the central beach there is a hollow rock similar to a cave called the Tafone di Spargi, famous because finds have been made inside it which date back to the Neolithic period and which are currently on display at the Sanna museum in Sassari. In prehistoric times the site represented an important crossing point for those men who wanted to reach Corsica on foot from Sardinia: a route that was viable at the time since the two islands were connected by a mountain chain while the sea level was lower by as much as 20 meters above the current level.
Spiaggia RosaPass-by Only
In addition to no longer being private, the island of Budelli is also uninhabited, the Pink beach has now been closed to the public for about 30 years due to tourists who have completely disfigured it by taking away a bit of pink sand with each visit souvenirs; for this reason walking on the beach, bathing and even anchoring are prohibited. The typical pink color comes from the shell of some microorganisms that live among the Posidonia plants, which when they die are brought ashore by sea storms and settle on the beach giving the sand its typical pink color.
Isola di Santa MariaPass-by Only
The island of Santa Maria with the main beach called Cala Santa Maria is the only one of the smaller islands to have houses. These are buildings built in the 1960s and which predate the master plan which prohibits construction on all the smaller islands. The island is not urbanized and for this reason the houses are mainly used in the summer period. Santa Maria was also the first island in the archipelago to have a fixed human presence and the remains of a Benedictine monastery dating back to 1400 are still present here.
