Cala Coticcio

4.6 (1226 reviews)

Cala Coticcio earns its nickname 'Sardinia's Tahiti' for good reason — this tiny cove on the island of Caprera stuns with glass-clear water, powdery light sand, and dramatic pink granite boulders tumbling into the shallows. It's one of the smallest beaches in Sardinia, barely 10 meters wide, which keeps it feeling intimate and unspoiled. You'll need to hike in or arrive by sea, but the snorkeling over fish-filled water makes the effort more than worthwhile.
