Cala Canniccio

✨ Hidden gem

Cala Canniccio is a sheltered little bay tucked into the island of La Maddalena, with that classic north Sardinian combo of turquoise shallows and granite boulders tumbling into the sea. The water stays calm and clear thanks to its protected position, making it a great spot for snorkeling around the rocky edges. It sits within the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park, so the surroundings are kept beautifully wild and undeveloped.
