Cala Ajacciòlu

Cala Ajacciòlu is a tucked-away bay on La Maddalena island, wrapped in the wild granite scenery that makes this archipelago so striking. The water runs clear and shallow in shades of turquoise, with a sheltered position that keeps things calm even when the wind picks up elsewhere. It's the kind of spot where you drop anchor and forget what time it is, surrounded by scrubby Mediterranean maquis rolling right down to the rocky shoreline. The La Maddalena Archipelago National Park protects the whole area, so the setting stays raw and unspoiled.
