Cala d'Alga
Cala d'Alga is a tucked-away bay near Lu Palau in Gallura, where the name — 'algae cove' — hints at its raw, unspoiled character rather than the manicured beaches nearby. The water is shallow and sheltered here, ringed by the granite outcrops typical of northeast Sardinia, with scrubby maquis spilling down to the shoreline. It's the kind of spot that feels like you found something most people scroll past, sitting close enough to Palau town to grab supplies but far enough to feel genuinely away from the crowds.
