Cala Bonifazzinca

Cala Bonifazzinca is a tucked-away bay on the La Maddalena archipelago, sitting close to the narrow Strait of Bonifacio that separates Sardinia from Corsica — so the views across to the French island are genuinely stunning. The water runs that classic Gallura shade of turquoise over pale granite sand, and the setting stays wilder and less crowded than the archipelago's more famous spots. It's a great place to anchor, swim, or just take in the raw, wind-sculpted scenery that defines this stretch of northeast Sardinia.
