Cala Baccà

✨ Hidden gem

Cala Baccà is a tucked-away bay on the northeastern tip of Sardinia where you can actually find a quiet stretch of water even in the height of summer — no small feat in this part of the island. The seabed shifts between sand and rock, so it's worth having a mask to explore what's underneath the crystal-clear water. It's the kind of place you tell yourself you'll leave after an hour and end up staying all afternoon. The rugged Gallura coastline surrounds you, with the La Maddalena Archipelago visible in the distance.
